you can save these settings as part of one of the eight user
presets. Each one of the eight user presets can have its own,
unique pedal & click settings. For example, you could set
up user preset 1 to handle a foot switch, while preset 8
could be set up for click-to-MIDI conversion.
To save pedal and click settings with a user preset:
1 Select the preset.
2 Make the settings you wish in the Pedal window.
The settings will be automatically saved when you quit
ClockWorks or switch to a different preset.
Using a foot switch
You can use any standard momentary foot switch with
your Express interface. Note, however, that your Express
interface does not support “expression” foot pedals, which
generate a continuous stream of data.
☛ There are several types of momentary foot switches.
Some are “on” when they are pressed; others are on when
they are released. For simplicity, in this manual we refer to
the type where “on” is pressed.
A momentary foot switch triggers one MIDI event (or set
of events) at a time, either when you press down on it or
when you release it. With your Express interface, you can
even program the foot switch to step through a series of
MIDI events. For example, you might set up a series of
MIDI patch changes that call up different sounds on your
synths and then use the foot switch to step through them
during a live performance, calling up the next sound each
time you press the foot switch. Consecutive events don’t
have to be the same type of event. For example, you could
send a patch change event to call up a sound, followed by a
controller #7 with a value of zero to mute an instrument.
The foot switch can even send more than one MIDI event
at a time. For example, you could press the foot switch at
the beginning of a new song during a live performance to
