Using the Control 2 Remote Foot Controller Using the Control 2 Remote Foot Controller Modes The Control 2 operates in one of two modes: 5 Patch Mode or 10 Patch Mode. 5 Patch Mode In 5 Patch Mode, the footswitches numbered 1-5 each select a preset (also known as a “patch”) in the selected bank. There are 20 banks to select from (you can change banks using the Bank Down/Bank Up footswitches).
Using the Control 2 Remote Foot Controller Selecting Banks The Control 2 assigns groups of presets (called banks) to the numbered footswitches. Each bank is a group of 5 presets (5 Patch Mode) or 10 presets (10 Patch Mode) depending on the foot controller mode selected by the GSP. Hence, there are 20 banks in 5 Patch Mode and 10 banks is 10 Patch Mode. To select a new bank and a new preset, follow these steps: 1. Press either the Bank Down or Bank Up footswitch.

To select another preset, press another of the footswitches numbered 1-5 (footswitches numbered 1-10 in 10 Patch Mode).
