CONTROL CHANGE
START/STOP
To program the Footswitch Controller to send out up to eight Control Change (CC) messages when the footswitch is
depressed, send it the following System Exclusive programming command:
( and
are optional)
All bytes must be in Hexadecimal format (see hexadecimal conversion table at end)
specifies mode of transmission as follows:
02: Send CC(s) on depression of footswitch, CC(s) of value 0 on release
12: Send CC(s) on depression of footswitch, nothing on release
22: Send CC(s) on depression of footswitch, CC(s) of value 0 after the duration specified by
(see below)
32: Send CC(s) on depression of footswitch, CC(s) of value 0 when the footswitch is released after the
minimum duration
(see below)
42: Send CC(s) on depression of footswitch, CC(s) of value 0 when the footswitch is released up to the
maximum duration
(see below)
52: Cycle through each CC on depression of footswitch, send the corresponding CC of value 0 on release
62: Cycle through each CC on depression of footswitch, send nothing on release
= Duration in 8 ms increments, or 1 s increments if preceded by 00.
( is only included if
= 22, 32, or 42)
= Control Change number
= Control Change value (sent on depression of footswitch)
= MIDI channel (see MIDI channel table at end)
= Additional CC numbers and values (up to eight CCs total)
To program the Footswitch Controller to send maximum volume on all MIDI channels when the footswitch is
depressed, set
(Send CC on depression of footswitch, nothing on release),
(volume is CC#7),
(7F is the hexadecimal value for 127, the maximum value), and
(7F specifies all MIDI channels). These
values result in the following System Exclusive programming command:
F0 00 00 50 04
F7
To program the Footswitch Controller to send MIDI Start and Stop messages, send it the following System Exclusive
programming command:
(
is optional)
specifies the mode of transmission as follows:
00: Send Stop on depression of footswitch, nothing on release
01: Send Start on depression of footswitch, nothing on release
omitted: Send Start on depression of footswitch, Stop on release
Note that the Footswitch Controller can be programmed to toggle between Start and Stop each time the footswitch is
depressed by setting the Footswitch Toggle parameter to Toggle ON (see Device Parameters).
