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 1-4 parameter buttons to select the on/off parameter (this will always be on the first page of the effects parameters and the first button). Press the Assign button once. If the function is already assigned to a footswitch, the display shown below will come up. If the function is not currently assigned, the Display will ask you to select a control Footswitch as previously shown in the Program assignment diagram. Press the footswitch you wish to use to turn your effect on and off with. The display will look something like this.

The display is now telling you 5 things about the Footswitch assignment.

1.This shows you that the parameter you have chosen to assign is the on/off parameter for the Tube Distortion, and that the assignment is on or active. The number one icon is indicating that you must press the number one button to access this parameter. You can then rotate the Data Wheel to turn this link on or off.

2.The footswitch that has been chosen to control this parameter is the number 6 footswitch. The number two icon is indicating that you must press the number two button to access this parameter. You can then change the footswitch number this parameter is assigned to by rotating the Data Wheel.
