a preset. Footswitch LEDs indicate if the effect is on or off. When an effect is on, the corresponding LED

lights green.

A MIDI device effects are associated with unique numbers. For many MIDI devices you can set these

command numbers from the menu or via the learn function, but for some devices these numbers are

‘hardwired’. With TB-12 (TB-5), you can set the Control Change (CC) number of each button that performs

IA function. To set the required CC numbers you should find out the CC numbers that are assigned to the

respective effects of the controlled MIDI device. You can usually find this information in the user guide of

the controlled device. To set up a footswitch as an IA switch, enter the menu, navigate to Buttons setup

submenu and select the required footswitch (Button 1 – 12(5) type). To set the footswitches as IA state

switches (Control Change messages will be sent, IA ON/OFF alternation) set the Type to CC_tg in Button 1

type – Button 12 type submenus(see Fig. 8).
