[RCV CTL] - Receive Continuous Control Message

RCV CTL allows external MIDI Continuous Control messages to be used as assignable controls

for the Effects parameters and system control.

The idea is to first select the TimeFactor parameter or function that you want to externally

control (Mix for example) and then select either MIDI Bend or the MIDI CC with which you

want to control it.

Here’s how it works:

Press the Encoder to select RCV CTL. You will see two fields (split display) of the Billboard

display showing Parameter destination and Control source assignments. An arrow pointing to

the left (Parameter) is flashing (if its not, press the Left Footswitch to select this field) showing

this to be the selected field for editing.

To Setup Parameter Destination

Turn the Encoder knob to select an external control destination - the TimeFactor parameter or

function which will be controlled from an external source. The choices are:

BYP – Bypass the unit

BK + – Increment Bank number switch function

BK - – Decrement Bank number switch function

TAP – Tap tempo switch function

RPT – Repeat function

P/B – Toggle between Play and Bank Mode

PDL – MIDI Expression Pedal

ACT – Make unit Active

TOG – Toggle Bypass/Active

REC – Looper Record

PLY – Looper Play

STP – Looper Stop

MT – Looper Empty

DIR – Looper Direction (Forward/Reverse)

OCT – Looper Octave

KB0…9 – Parameter Control Knobs

FS1…3 – Alternate Mode (AUX Switches act as Play Switches when the Stompbox

is in Bank Mode, and Bank Switches when the Stompbox is in Play Mode)

ISW – Input Swell

OSW – Output Swell

After you’ve selected a Parameter Control Knob, you can set the parameter range that the

MIDI CC will control by setting minimum and maximum parameter values.

When a Parameter Control Knob designator is displayed (KB0… KB9), pressing the Left

Footswitch will display [MIN VAL]. Turn the associated Parameter Control Knob to set the

minimum value. For example, if KB0 was selected, turn the Mix Control Knob to set the

minimum value. The Billboard displays the knob value while you’re turning the selected

parameter knob and times out to display the selected [MIN VAL] when the knob is idle.

Push the Left Footswitch again to set the maximum value for the selected Parameter Control

Knob. The Billboard will display [MAX VAL]. Turn the associated parameter knob to adjust the
