Hardware Assign
The Hardware Assign screen enables you to customize
how HeadRush MX5’s footswitches and an expression
pedal control each rig.
To open the Hardware Assign screen, tap the 
button in the upper-right corner of the main screen,
and then tap Hardware Assign.
To return to the main screen, tap the  button in the
upper-left corner.
Important: The Hardware Assign settings are all part of
the overall rig, so remember to save your changes you
want to keep.
To set the color associated with the rig, tap it in the upper-left part of the screen. This color will appear next to
the rig name when you view a list of all available rigs or when you view and create setlists. It will also be the
color of the corresponding footswitch indicator when the HeadRush MX5 is in Rig Mode.
To set the tempo of the rig’s time-based effects (delays, modulation, etc.), tap the button under Tempo to
select Current or Fixed.
Current: The rig will use the last-used tempo or the one set by the Tempo footswitch.
To set the tempo, press the Tempo footswitch at the desired tempo 3–8 times to set the new tempo in beats
per minute (BPM).
Fixed: The rig will use a tempo that you set here.
To set the tempo, turn the encoder to set the desired tempo in beats per minute (BPM). You can set the
tempo only in this Hardware Assign screen.
To load a rig when a MIDI program change is received from an optional external MIDI device, or to send a
MIDI program change message when a rig is loaded, tap the button under MIDI, and then turn the encoder
to select a MIDI program change number. You can adjust whether MIDI program changes are received and/or
sent in the Global Settings menu.
Note: If a rig is using a number, that number will be unavailable and cannot be assigned to another rig.
Additionally, saving a rig with a new name will save the rig but without the program change number to prevent
rigs from sharing the same number.
