7 : SCENES
TO SET EFFECT X/Y STATES IN A SCENE...
The X/Y state of every block in your preset can be programmed per scene as follows:
1. Load the desired preset and select the desired scene.
2. Press and hold
each footswitch to select X or Y as desired.
TO SET RELAY STATES FOR A SCENE...
The state of each relay can be programmed per scene as follows:
1. Load the desired preset and select the desired scene.
2. Press PAGE from Stompbox Mode to turn to the Conguration-screen (“CFG” tab).
3. Use NAV to select RELAY 1 or RELAY 2.
4. Use VALUE to select TIP-to-sleeve, RING-to-sleeve, or BOTH tip- and ring-to-sleeve.
NOTE: When a RELAY block is in your preset, that relay will be controlled ONLY by the block. Any
relay settings on the Cong page will be ignored. However, the scene itself can control the RELAY
block in the same way a scene controls ON/OFF and X/Y for every block.
TO SET THE OUTPUT LEVELS FOR A SCENE:
The main output level for OUT [PRE] and OUT [POST] can be programmed into every scene.
1. Press PAGE from Stompbox Mode to turn to the “OUT” page.
2. Select the desired scene.
3. OUTPUT LEVEL PRE and OUTPUT LEVEL POST can be set per scene.
Note: Changing scene output levels impacts unity gain.
TO SET THE MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGE FOR A SCENE...
The FX8 can send one MIDI Program Change Message (“PC”) per scene. TYou can set a dierent message
on a dierent channel for each scene. Use this feature to change the channel of a MIDI-controlled amp,
select presets on a connected Axe-FX, or switch any other MIDI device.
1. Load the desired preset and select the desired scene.
2. Press PAGE from Stompbox Mode to turn to the Conguration-screen (“CFG” tab).
3. NAV to MIDI PC and use VALUE to select the desired MIDI PC by its number (0–127).
4. NAV to MIDI CH and use VALUE to select the desired channel for your MIDI PC by its number (1–16).
Note: The MIDI block can be used to send additional MIDI data from a footswitch (and therefore a scene!)
It even supports XY for twice the MIDI messaging. See “The MIDI Block” on page 42.
TO SAVE CHANGES TO ONE OR MORE SCENES:
 Press STORE, ENTER, ENTER to save any and all changes to one or more scenes.
Always test ALL scenes in your preset—even those you think you might not use.
Ensure that there are no unpleasant volume jumps or other surprises in case of an accidental mis-step later.
