Chapter 6 Using Pedals to Control the Effects

Notes on Setting the Pedal Functions

With the GT-PRO, each effect features various different
parameters, and you can adjust these as you perform to
produce even more effective changes in your tones.
You can assign and control the parameters you want to
external pedals (expression pedals, foot switches) connected
to the GT-PRO and to external MIDI devices (such as the FC-
200).
On top of all this, the GT-PRO features an "Internal Pedal
System," which lets you produce effects including automatic
changes of parameters in real time, thus enabling you to
create an even greater wealth of tonal changes.

Use-Specific Guide

Using External Controllers With the
Same Functions Assigned at All Times
If, for example, you want to use an external expression pedal
exclusively as a volume pedal, you can have the setting for
the external pedal (expression pedal or foot switch) function
be applied globally for the GT-PRO.
"Setting the Operation of the External Foot Switch (CTL 1, 2,
3, 4 Function)" (p. 62)
"Setting the Operation of the External EXP Pedal (EXP1, 2
Function)" (p. 63)
When Using an External MIDI Device to
Control the Same Function at All Times
If, for example, you want to use the external expression pedal
of the FC-200 (MIDI Foot Controller) connected via MIDI to
the GT-PRO exclusively as a volume pedal, assign the setting
that determines how Control Change messages from the
external MIDI device work as a global setting applied to the
entire GT-PRO.
"Setting the Operation for an External MIDI Device (CC#7,
CC#80, CC#1 Function)" (p. 64)
When Setting the FV (Foot Volume)
Function Separately for Individual Patches
The manner in which the FV (Foot Volume: p. 55) is
controlled is determined for individual patches via the EXP
pedal connected to the EXP PEDAL 1 jack or via Control
Change No. 7 (CC#7) transmitted from the FC-200 or other
external MIDI device.
"Setting the FV (Foot Volume) Operation for Individual
Patches (EXP1/CC#7 Foot Volume)" (p. 65)
* When controlling the foot volume with an expression pedal
connected to the EXP PEDAL 2 jack, set "FV: Level" as the
target and "EXP PEDAL 2" as the source in Assign (p. 66).
Setting External Controller Functions to
Individual Patches
If you want to assign and control effect parameters freely
with the external pedal (foot switch or expression pedal)
connected to the GT-PRO, use the "Assign" settings.
You can also use "Assign" to make settings enabling control
using Control Change messages from an FC-200 or other
external MIDI device.
In each patch you can assign up to 12 configurations of
settings (Assign Numbers 1–12), which determine which
external controllers (pedal or MIDI device) are used to
control the parameters you select.
* You can use the Internal Pedal System with "Assign."
"Setting External Controller Functions to Individual Patches
(Assign)" (p. 66)
When using "ASSIGN," set the following settings to
"Assignable" (or "Auto").
"ASSIGN" do not function when a different setting is
selected.
CTL 1, 2, 3, 4 Function (p. 62)
EXP 1, 2 Function (p. 63)
CC#7, CC#80, CC#1 Function (p. 64)
