FOOTSWITCHES
FOOTSWITCHES
Up to four footswitches may be plugged in. Use
standard ‘passive’ single pole footswitches wired to
mono jack plugs. These are available from most
musical equipment shops.
PAUSE and NEXT duplicate the function of the front
panel PERFORM SET keys so that the song memories
can be recalled during live performance remote from
the console. For example, a musician can step on to
the next song in the set, or toggle between the song
and pause settings to talk to the audience without
touching the console. Use momentary
switches for
these functions.
FX1 and FX2 control selected console parameters
according to the setting in the FX screens. Plug in a
variable foot pedal
to control variable parameters
such as the level of the effects added to the mix.
Plug in a latching
footswitch to turn this into a mute
since it toggles between fader fully open and fully
closed. For example, you can use a footswitch to
turn the reverb on or off, or use a foot pedal to
reduce or increase the amount of overall reverb in the
mix.
Note that some FX1 effects allow foot pedal
parameter control. For example, the effect type
FOOT VOL lets you use a foot pedal to control the
volume of signals routed via FX1.
