Expression Pedal

*The range that can be selected changes according to the target setting.

*When the “minimum” is set to a higher value than the “maximum,” the change in the parameter is reversed.

*The values of settings may change if the target is altered after the “minimum value” and “maximum value” are set. Be sure to check the “minimum value” and “maximum value” settings after changing the target.

Source

This sets the controller (source) that affects the target parameter. Controllers that can be selected as the source are shown below.

•EXP PEDAL Expression pedal

•	EXP SW	Expression pedal switch
•	CTL PEDAL	CTL pedal

*The CTL pedal indicator is not lit. The indicator lights up according to the CTL pedal setting (p. 46).

•SUB EXP PEDAL

External expression pedal connected to the SUB EXP PEDAL/SUB CTL 1, 2 jack.

* Set SYS: Sub CTL 1 Func (p. 63) to “Assignable.”

•SUB CTL 1, 2

Foot switch connected to the SUB EXP PEDAL/SUB CTL 1, 2 jack.

* Set SYS: Sub CTL 1, 2 Func (p. 63) to “Assignable.”

•MIDI CC# 1–31, 64–95

Control Change messages from an external MIDI device (1–31, 64–95).

*The CTL pedal indicator lights according to the settings made with the CTL pedal.

Source Mode

This determines the manner in which the setting is to be changed when a momentary-type foot switch (such as the optional FS-5U) is used.

*The GT-6B’s control pedal is a momentary-type pedal. Switch the settings as needed to accommodate your setup.

Normal

The normal state is Off (minimum value), with the switch On (maximum value) only while the foot switch is depressed.

Toggle

The setting alternately switches between On (maximum value) and Off (minimum value) with each press of the foot switch.
