Roland RD-300SX owner manual Switching the Pedal’s Polarity Control Pedal Polarity

Settings for Each Function ([EDIT])

Switching the Pedal’s Polarity (Control Pedal Polarity)

This switches the polarity of the pedal connected to the PEDAL (CONTROL) jack on the rear panel.

On some pedals, the electrical signal output by the pedal when it is pressed or released is the opposite of other pedals. If your pedal has an effect opposite of what you expect, set this parameter to REVERSE. If you are using a Roland pedal (that has no polarity switch), set this parameter to STANDARD.

Indication	Value
	STANDARD
	REVERSE

Using Program Change Messages to Switch Setups

(Setup Control Channel)

You can switch the RD-300SX’s Setups with MIDI messages from an external MIDI device.

Set the MIDI Receive channel for receiving the MIDI messages (Program Changes) from the external MIDI device to be used for switching Setups.

When not switching Setups from an external MIDI device, set this to OFF.

Value

1–16, OFF

When the Control Channel settings are transmitted along with the part’s MIDI receive channel, switching of Setups takes priority over the switching of tones. For more on program changes for switching Setups, refer to “Switching Setups” (p. 49).

Using the Pedal to Switch Setup (Setup Pedal Shift)

You can use the pedal which is connected to the PEDAL (CONTROL) jack on the rear panel as a dedicated switch for selecting Setup in order.

Indication	Value	Description
	OFF	You can use the pedal function
		set with Control Pedal Func-
		tion (p. 40).
	ON	This becomes a dedicated
		switch for switching Setups.

The function set with Control Pedal Function (p. 40) cannot be used when this is switched to ON.
