Setting the Operation of the GT-8 and
External Controllers (Assign Variable)
This sets the functions of the GT-8's controllers (the CTL and
EXP pedal and the EXP pedal switch) and external
controllers (foot switches or expression pedals) connected to
the SUB EXP PEDAL/SUB CTL1, 2 jack on the rear panel.
In each patch you can set up to eight different types (Assign
numbers) determining which parameter is to be controlled
by a particular controller.
The Assign Variable settings can be completed simply and
easily using the "Quick Settings," or you can use the
"Manual Settings" to select and set parameters individually.
* Set the CTL Pedal/EXP Switch/EXP Pedal (p. 54), Sub
CTRL1,2 (p. 55), and Sub EXP Pedal (p. 56) settings to
"Assignable" (or "Auto").

Quick Settings

When you select prepared settings (Quick Settings), the
relevant parameters are then instantly set to their optimal
values. This lets you finish making the settings simply,
instead of setting each individual parameter separately.
