is turned on. Footswitch 1 LED is turned off.

Footswitch State
This defines if the footswitch is enabled (on) or disabled (off) when the panel is loaded. This is useful
for setting the initial state of the switch and LED to match initial settings of a preset on the target
device or software.
Panel Names
Each Panel can be given a custom name. Panel names can be up to 32 characters in length, and the
LCD will scroll the name back and forth if it exceeds the size of the display.
Changing Panels
There are a total of 64 Panels stored in the Soleman. To change Panels, use the Add/Up and
Remove/Down buttons.
To change Panels using only your feet, press the Search and Favorite footswitches at the same time
to select the next panel, or press the Previous and Next footswitches at the same time to select the
previous panel.
Additionally, external footswitches connected to the Soleman can be used to change Panels. See the
External Footswitches section for details.
Panels can also be remotely recalled by sending MIDI Program Changes to the Soleman via the MIDI
IN jack or over USB-MIDI.
Panel Setup Macros
Each Panel can be assigned a Setup Macro. The purpose of Setup Macros is to prepare or configure
the target MIDI device for use with the selected panel. For example, you might want to set up a panel
so that it works with a specific preset on an external MIDI device – in this case, you can create a
Setup Message for that Panel which sends a program change to the target device, activating the
desired preset. Setup messages will be sent when Panel mode is first activated or when a new Panel
is selected. Setup Macros are optional, and can be configured in the USB Editor Software.
Panel Mode Expression Pedal
For each Panel, the expression output can be assigned to a different MIDI continuous controller. This
makes it possible to control different parameters on the target MIDI hardware or software
depending on what Panel is active. To modify the expression output for the active Panel, use the edit
menu (shown in the graphic below) or the USB Editor Software. (See Scene/Panel Expression CC
Selection)
