LOADING PRESETS WITH 8-STEP FOOT CONTROLLER

Each time you press these footswitches the preset number increments (UP
Footswitch) or decrements (DOWN Footswitch) while loading the new preset into
the Preset Cue at the same time. If you press and hold either of the
footswitches on the 8-STEP Foot Controller, it will increment or decrement by 10.
2. An alternate method for loading presets with the 8-STEP Foot Controller is to use
the SELECT knob. First turn the SELECT knob to the preset number that you
want to load, then press and release the SELECT knob to load the preset.
3. Upon loading a preset, the decimal LED on the 8-STEP will light up solid. The
rightmost decimal point on the 8-STEP Foot Controller will also light up indicating
that the preset is loaded.
4. To unload the preset, press and release the MODE knob on the 8-STEP Foot
Controller.
LOADING PRESET WITH MIDI
Using Program Change Messages
The 8-STEP accepts MIDI Program Change messages to load its stored presets as long as
the MIDI controller is set to the 8-STEP’s MIDI channel. As an example, if you want to load
preset 10, send Program Change message 10 to the 8-STEP.
Using CC Messages
The 8-STEP also loads presets upon receiving MIDI CC 118. The data value sent along with
MIDI CC 118 indicates the preset number that will be loaded. For example if you want to
load preset 51, send a data value of 51 along with MIDI CC 118. Sending a value above 99
will unload the currently selected preset.
