Switching Changes
Switch Combination
We have changed the switching combination of certain functions in order to give easy access to Presets G - K.
| Function | Old Combo | New Combo |
|---|---|---|
| Edit Bank | C+F | B+F |
| Toggle Midi Editor | A+D, F | D+C |
| Toggle Midi Thru | A+D, C | A+F |

| H | E+F |

New Features
- Skipping bank number display. Set the first character in your bank name to "#" to prevent the controller from displaying the bank number for that particular bank and immediately load the bank settings when changing bank.
- Bank Change Lock. Lock the dual switch bank change (switch A+B or B+C) and prevent the controller from changing banks when the combination is pressed. Toggle Bank Change Lock by pressing Switch B+D.
New Midi Message Types
Select Expression Message
- Select specific Midi Messages to send with your expression pedal, instead of sending all at once.
Toggle Page
- Toggle between presets A-F and G-L on the main page.
Set Toggle
Similar to Clear Toggle, but sets toggle to active instead.
Midi Message Type Changes
Set Bank
- Currently, Set Bank is only executed after all other messages are executed. We have changed it to execute chronologically along with other Midi Messages. This will allow you to take advantage of bank-specific messages and apply it to other banks. For example, from Bank 1, you can do a Set Bank to Bank 2, and then apply a Clear Toggle message to Bank 2.
- Bank number of last Set Bank will print. However, you can jump to multiple banks in-between.
Clear Toggle
For Number 1 = 127 (All Presets)
- Else, set the values of N1, V1, N2 and V2 to be the number of the presets you want to clear (e.g. 1 = A, 2 = B).
Midi Clock Tap Tempo
This midi type no longer sends a Midi Start and Stop message before and after the clock messages. If you require this, simply add a Start and Stop message using the Midi Real Time midi type.
