Assigning a MIDI CC to Pedals

This function allows you to send MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) information out the MIDI port while the footswitch still maintains its ability to control a parameter within the RP21D. When assigned to a footswitch, the switch will toggle between CC values 0 or 127. CC numbers 0 through 127 are available. This function is only available for footswitches that have been programmed to toggle effects on and off within the RP21D. To assign the MIDI CC number which will be transmitted from the applicable footswitches, do the following:

1. Press the Utility button once, then use the Next or Previous Page buttons until you reach page 10 of the utility menu. The Display reads:
