Using a foot pedal

You can connect a separately sold foot pedal (Roland DP-2 / DP-6) or expression pedal
(Roland EV-5 / EV-7) to the CG-8's rear panel [FOOT SW] jack, and use it to switch
patches, or for realtime control of an effect parameter that you assign, just as when
using the XY pad or D Beam.

The foot pedal assignment
can be saved separately for
each patch as part of the
patch settings. This lets
you create patches that
contain the most effective
settings for your situation.
For details, refer to
"Creating patches" (p.
61).

Use only the specified foot
switches or expression
pedals. Connecting a
switch or pedal made by
another manufacturer
could cause the CG-8 to
malfunction.
For details on how to
switch banks, refer to
"Switching banks and
selecting a Photo Patch"
(p. 32) and "Switching
banks and selecting a
Stamp Patch" (p. 33).
