Using a Footswitch to Select Patches
Comparing Layered Sounds
By using a special cable (PCS-31L; sold separately) to connect two footswitches (FS-5U; sold separately)
to the FOOT SW jack, you can select Patches by remote control. When you press Footswitch 1 you will
advance to the next Patch number, and when you press Footswitch 2 you will go back to the previous
Patch number. If you connect a DP-2, you can move up (but not down) through the Patch numbers.
Connect the two mono cables of the PCS-31L to the two footswitches. The plug with the black cover is
for Footswitch 1, and the plug with the red cover is for Footswitch 2.
