•To recall Programs using MIDI program change messages
•To control (modulate) parameters inside the MicroVerb 4 in realtime via MIDI controllers (example: A keyboard’s mod wheel, or pedals, etc.)
•To send and receive SysEx (System Exclusive) dumps of individual programs or the entire bank of programs for storage and retrieval purposes

To connect the MicroVerb 4’s MIDI ports to another MIDI device:
¿Connect a MIDI cable from the MicroVerb 4’s MIDI [IN] connector to the other MIDI device’s MIDI OUT connector.
¡Connect another MIDI cable from the MicroVerb 4’s MIDI [OUT/THRU] connector to the MIDI IN connector of the other MIDI device.
Note: It is not necessary to follow step 2 if you intend to only send information to the
MicroVerb 4, and do not need to receive information back from it. Example: If you only want to be able to recall Programs using MIDI program change messages, there is no need to connect a cable to the MicroVerb 4’s [OUT/THRU] connector. For more information about MIDI and Modulation, refer to chapter 5.
Footswitch
On the rear panel you will find a footswitch jack labeled [FOOTSWITCH]. This is a Stereo jack, with connections for both a normal Bypass jack and for two footswitch jacks. All footswitches must be plugged in before the MicroVerb 4 has its power turned on.
To hook up a single Bypass Footswitch: Any momentary footswitch can be plugged into the Footswitch input on the MicroVerb 4. The extra connector on the footswitch jack will simply be ignored.
To hook up two Footswitches: The MicroVerb 4 is equipped with a 1/4” TRS footswitch jack which can connect to two footswitch jacks. To connect both footswitches, first locate a cable or adapter which has one male 1/4” TRS jack and two female 1/4” mono jacks. This cable is available from several manufacturers, such as Radio Shack
The footswitch connected to the tip of this jack will function as a Bypass pedal. The footswitch connected to the center ring of this jack will function as a Control pedal. (See below.) You may also use a dual footswitch, which has two pedals on one
