Ctrl 1, 2 (Multi-Effects Control 1, 2)

On the RS-50, certain multi-effect parameters can be assigned to the modulation lever, knobs, pedal or D Beam. Of the parameters explained in Multi-effect parameters, the assignable parameters are marked with a “#” symbol. (Parameters marked with “#1” or “#2” can be simultaneously controlled using the controller marked with the same number.) Here you can exchange these assignments, or choose not to use them. For details, refer to p. 33, p. 89.
