Selecting Patches with an
External MIDI Foot Controller
While the base module's four pedals are being used as
designated pedals (p. 26) for such effects as hold and wah,
you may also wish to switch patches using your foot.
In such cases, you should hook up an external MIDI foot
controller (e.g. FC-200, Boss FC-50, and so on).
Make the settings, using the following procedure.
1. Connect equipment as shown in the figure below.
