OPERATION BASICS

This section describes the basic controls and operation of the Switch Doctor. Refer to
the TOP PANEL CONTROLS diagram on the previous page.

Operating Modes

The Switch Doctor has two operating modes – Preset Mode and Direct Mode. Preset

Channel1. The first preset (Preset A in Bank 1) will send MIDI Program Change 0.

Doctor will automatically call up the corresponding presets on your MIDI device.
