5 FOOTSWITCH FUNCTIONS
The FC includes several functions for switching Banks. Let’s rst look at what a Bank is: a “bank” on the FC
Controller is quite different than the “bank” you might encounter on the Axe-Fx III. On the FC, a Bank is simply
a subdivision of the total number of presets. It is created on the fly, allowing dynamic “Preset within Bank”
switches (see p.26) to access every preset without the need to program hundreds of individual switches.
BANK SIZE
Bank Size designates how many presets are in each bank. This number should usually match the
number of “Preset Within Bank” switches on your layout. (Factory default Layout 1 provides an
example.) You can change the Bank Size setting on the page.
EXAMPLE: The tables below illustrate how a sample list of 15 factory presets would be divided with bank size set
to 3 or 5. Both columns show the same list of presets, but as bank size changes they differently (shown
here with gray and white bands). You can set bank size to anything from 1 to 12. Remember that whenever you
change Bank Size the of banks will change, and the presets contained in each numbered bank will shift.
BANK FUNCTIONS
Default Color: Orange
BANK: SELECT
The Bank Select function creates a footswitch that is “hard-wired” to a specic numbered bank.
For example, a switch that selects Bank 1, or Bank 24.
Bank – Designates the desired Bank by number
Preset Load – Species which preset (if any) should be loaded when the specied bank is selected:
None: No preset from the new bank will be loaded until you select one yourself.
First: The rst preset in the new bank will be loaded automatically.
Current: Whichever “Preset Within Bank” switch is active will remain active. For
example, if you have “P2” selected within the old bank, then “P2” from the new
bank will be loaded automatically when you select the new bank.

The LED ring is bright when the selected bank is loaded, otherwise dim.
