14 : SETUP MENUS
PARAMETER
Description
OUTPUT 1 PRE PHASE
(NORMAL/INVERT)
Determines whether signals at OUT [POST] will be normal or phase-
inverted relative to its state at the output of the last POST eect. This lets
you compensate for unwanted inversions elsewhere in the downstream
signal chain. (This inverts BOTH the Left and Right channels.)
I/O: MIDI PAGE
The MIDI page of the I/O menu contains parameters that aect MIDI processing.

Reminder: You do not need to STORE settings in the SETUP menu. EXIT returns to Stompbox Mode.
PARAMETER
Description
MIDI CHANNEL
1–16, OMNI
Sets the channel on which the FX8 will receive MIDI messages.
OMNI causes the unit to respond to incoming messages on ANY channel.
MIDI THRU
OFF/ON
Turning this ON forwards MIDI data received at the MIDI IN port to the MIDI
OUT port, where it is soft-merged with regular outbound MIDI.
PROG CHANGE
ON/OFF
Determines whether the FX8 will process or ignore MIDI program change
commands.
SCENE REVERT Selects between one of two behaviors for scene recall via MIDI:
OFF (Default): Scene edits are retained across scene changes until a preset
is loaded. If you tweak Scene 1, switch to Scene 2, then back to scene 1,
your tweaks will still be intact.
ON: Scene edits are lost when you change the scene without saving. If you
tweak scene 1, switch to Scene 2, then back to Scene 1, Scene 1 will have
reverted to its previously saved state. This makes scene changes feel more
like traditional preset changes.
For more on Scene Revert, see page 38.
EXT CTRL # INIT VAL
0% OR 100%
Species a value for each of the 12 External controllers when the FX8 is
powered on. The Initial value is applied until anything is received from the
external controller (an expression pedal, switch, or MIDI message).
This feature has an important use. Let’s say you nd yourself without the
expression pedal you normally use as “EXTERNAL 1”. Now imagine that
EXT1 is used to control a VOLUME block. Without the pedal connected, the
FX8 assumes it is at 0%. Setting the EXT 1 INITIAL VALUE to 100% ensures
that the volume defaults to all the way up instead of all the way down.
