Expression Pedals and Foot Switches 135
• Morphed values of parameters can be set above or below their base value, to create either positive or negative
progressions.
• You can erase Morphing of any parameter by turning the morphed value back to the base value.
• A safer way to erase a Morphing is to first activate the Base Sound, and then sweep the base value of any
parameter past the morphed value.
• If no device is connected to the PROFILER to activate Morphing, all Rigs will load with their Base Sound.
• The Morph Pedal can be configured to control Wah Pedal and/or Pitch Pedal as well. Refer to the chapter Pedal
Links chapter for setting this up.
Using the Rig Buttons (or external switches), or using the Morph Pedal, may be different approaches to Morphing,
but they are not mutually exclusive. If you hit the button (or external switch) while the pedal (or MIDI controller) has
been set to an intermediate value, Morphing will progress from that value. When you move the expression pedal
afterwards, it would obviously start from a wrong position. To eventually sync the morph level to the pedal position,
the morph process is accelerated or decelerated accordingly to ensure Morphing never results in undesirable jumps.
You are always free to choose either the button/switch or the expression pedal to control the Morphing, so you can
tailor its use to your specific needs.
When you use the PROFILER Remote or Stage in Performance Mode, the LEDs in the lower row above the five Rig
Buttons indicate the availability of Performance Slots with a dimmed light. Similarly, the LEDs in the uppermost row
indicate the availability of a Morph Sound in this specific Slot with a dimmed light.
The default functionality of the Rig Buttons 1-5 of the Remote and Stage is to trigger Morphing; however, you may
prefer to use them for reloading the current Rig/Slot in its original state. To select this behavior, disengage the global
“Rig Button Morph” option, located in the System Settings. This option also affects MIDI controllers that send MIDI
CC#50-54 to load Rigs or Slots, such as the Uno4Kemper
TM
, for example. Instead of using the Rig Buttons, you
could assign one of the Remote’s or Stage’s LOOPER, TAP or TUNER buttons, or even an external switch in order
to trigger Morphing alongside the Morph Pedal.
This is the “Morph” page to Rig Settings.
You can review, test and manage your Morphing on this page. The page includes:
• a complete signal chain reflecting which module is currently setup for Morphing
• a bar indicating the current state of Morphing
• soft knob to simulate the Morph Pedal
