2—System/MIDI Parameters
ENSONIQ DP/Pro Reference Manual 15
System/MIDI Parameter 58: L Ftsw Cntlr
System/MIDI Parameter 59: R Ftsw Cntlr
L Ftsw Cntlr=DP Cntlr R Ftsw
Cntlr=DP Cntlr
Values: Off The foot switch will be inactive.
DP Cntlr The foot switch may be selected as a DP Cntlr and designated to perform real-time
modulation on the DP/Pro’s effects. DP Cntlrs 5-8 default to using the left and
right foot switches.
Tap Tempo The foot switch operates in the same manner as the front-panel Tap tempo button.
(See the Tap Average, Tap LED and Tapped notes System/MIDI parameters
earlier in this chapter.)
Inc Effect Each press of the foot switch selects the next effect in the DP/Pro’s memory.
Dec Effect Each press of the foot switch selects the next lowest effect in the DP/Pro’s
memory.
Inc Song Each press of the foot switch selects the next song in the DP/Pro’s memory.
Dec Song Each press of the foot switch selects the next lowest song in the DP/Pro’s
memory.
Inc Step Each press of the foot switch selects the next step in the currently selected song
Dec Step Each press of the foot switch selects the next lowest step in the currently selected
song.
Bypass A Each press of the foot switch toggles the bypass state of ESP-A. The nature of the
bypass is determined by the ESP-A Bypass Btn parameter described later in this
chapter.
Bypass B Each press of the foot switch toggles the bypass state of ESP-B. The nature of the
bypass is determined by the ESP-B Bypass Btn parameter described later in this
chapter.
Defaults: DP Cntlr
What these Parameters Do:
The L Ftsw Cntlr and R Ftsw Cntlr parameters assign tasks to the two foot switches on a dual foot
switch.
MIDI Transmission from the Foot Switches
Whenever the System/MIDI Transmit Cntlr Msgs parameter (14) is on, pressing a foot switch pedal
transmits MIDI data. The kind of data transmitted depends on the current job to which the pedal is
assigned:
• When the foot switch is being used for the selection of effects, a Program Change value
equivalent to each selected effect is transmitted. This occurs when foot switch is set to Inc Effect,
Dec Effect, Inc Step or Dec Step.
• When the foot switch is set to Bypass A or Bypass B , it mimics the pressing of the appropriate
Bypass button. As a result, the DP/Pro will transmit an On (127) or Off (0) value for the controller
currently selected for turning the ESP’s bypass on and off via MIDI (see “Bypassing ESPs with
MIDI” later in this chapter).
• When a foot switch is set to DP Cntlr, Tap Tempo, Inc Song or Dec Song and pressed, the DP/Pro
transmits a value of 127 for MIDI controllers 70 (the left pedal) or 71 (the right pedal). When the
pedal is released, a 0 value for the same controller is transmitted. These controllers are
understood as left and right Patch Select button-presses by ENSONIQ products that have Patch
Select buttons.
