Foot Controller Functions
The 10 numbered footswitches can perform a variety of different functions of the RP21D. You can use them to select specific Programs, turn effects on and off, and change to a specific value for any of the effect parameters. The Bank Up and Bank Down switches will increment and decrement through the 19 different Banks contained in the RP21D. Each Bank can have completely different functions assigned to each of the 10 numbered footswitches. In addition, by pressing and holding the Bank Up switch you can bypass all effects in the RP21D. By pressing and holding the Bank Down switch, you can access the tuner. The two Bank switch assignments are fixed and cannot be changed, but the 10 numbered footswitches can be assigned any function that you choose.
Assigning Programs
Assigning a footswitch to call up a specific Program is a very easy process. Simply use the Data Wheel to select the Program that you want to assign. Then press the Assign button once. The Display will look something like this:

At this point, the bottom row of switches will flash in succession from 1 to 5. They are asking you to choose which footswitch you want to assign the Program to. Simply press the desired footswitch. If no switch is pressed within 4 seconds, the RP21D automatically exits the Assign menu, and reverts back to the performance mode.
Assigning On/Off Functions
Assigning the on/ off function of an effect module to a footswitch is almost as easy as assigning a Program. Simply select the Program in which you want to switch an effect on and off. Use the Preamp or Effects buttons to select the effect module that you want to turn on and off. Use the
