INSTANT ACCESS SWITCHES
5 INSTANT ACCESS SWITCHES
Instant Access (IA) Switches are typically used like traditional stompboxes to turn effects on or off, but with the
deep MIDI capabilities of the MFC-101 there are many other creative possibilities for their use. The number of IA
footswitches is determined by the global Bank Size (see section 4.1 on p. 13). Each numbered IA Switch (1-17) is
always located at the footswitch with the same number. The MFC-101 software provides access to additional IAs
(nos. 18–41) reserved for future use. IA switch settings are global across all Presets, Banks, and Songs.
