The ADJUST Knob,
Foot Pedal, Foot Sw 1
and Foot Sw 2 as
MIDI Controllers
You can choose to have the PCM 80 send MIDI Controller messages whenever you turn ADJUST (the soft knob in Program Banks or Register Banks modes), or to activate analog controllers connected to the rear panel Footswitch or Foot Controller jacks. This makes it possible to record
To send MIDI data from these controllers, first set Control mode 3.2 (Transmit) to the desired MIDI Channel. (The default is Channel 1.)
MIDI Transmit
3.21
Once a transmit channel has been set, go to Control mode 3.5 to assign MIDI Controllers. Press Load/✱ to display the available controllers: Foot Pedal, Foot Sw1, Foot Sw2 or ADJUST. Turn ADJUST to assign the MIDI Controller data to be sent when the displayed controller is activated. (The default assignment is None.).
MIDI ✱ Foot Sw 1
3.5 Send | Sustain |
When a PCM 80 controller is assigned to a MIDI Controller, the PCM 80 will respond to incoming controller messages as though its own controller were moved. In other words, if FootSw1 is assigned to Sustain, the PCM 80 will respond to incoming Sustain messages as though FootSw1 had been activated.
