4 LAYOUTS & SWITCHES
Layout 1: Presets is designed for switching
or auditioning presets, with BANK UP and
DOWN switches. Bank Size (see p.24) is
set to “10” when you load FC-12 defaults.
Layout 2: Scenes is designed for selecting
scenes 1–8, with bonus switches for
changing presets, Tap Tempo, and Tuner.
Layout 4: Channels is a simple demo of
Amp, Drive, and other channel switching.
Layout 6: Per-Preset demonstrates
per-preset “placeholder” switches (as
compared to per-preset “overrides”).
You will need to create switch denitions in
your presets for this layout to work.
See p. 34 for more on this topic.
Layout 3: Effects allows you to bypass
or engage twelve different effects!
Layout 5: Looper offers every control on
the Looper block, plus Looper Bypass/
Engage, Tap Tempo, and Tune.
Layouts 7 & 8 are examples covered by the
tutorial on p. 46.They show one idea for
a simple FC-12 performance layout. Here’s
an overview: the “EFFECTS” and “MAIN”
switches toggle between layouts 7 and 8. If
you hold the lower right switch, it will show
you all other Hold functions. All effect
switches toggle between channels A and B
when you press and hold.
