Let’s Use a Foot Switch

You can use a foot switch (such as the optional FS-5U) to start and
stop performances and switch verses (p. 23). This is convenient, as
it allows you to switch the Patterns with your foot.
You can connect up to two foot switches.

Connecting the Foot Switch

Connect the foot switch to the FOOT SW jack on the

rear panel.
