Special MIDI Functions
- Expression — CC 100
- MIDI Expression — CC 60. Enables or disables MIDI expression pedal control. When on, the expression pedal CC (100) is active. Default is On.
- Modulation — CC 96. Toggles modulation on or off. When on, the RATE and INTENSITY knobs control modulation speed and depth. INTENSITY must be above minimum for modulation to be audible.
- Bank Select — CC 0. Selects the active MIDI patch bank. Bank 0 = presets 0–127, Bank 1 = presets 128–255, Bank 2 = presets 256–299. Send before a Program Change to access higher preset banks.
- Footswitch — CC 27. Simulates a footswitch press via MIDI. Sends 127 to engage/press, 0 to release. Equivalent to stepping on the physical footswitch.
- Infinite Repeats — CC 97. Engages infinite echo repeats while held (equivalent to holding the Infinite mode footswitch). Send 127 to engage, 0 to release.
