Midi Controller Pedal Hookup - Alesis GT Reference Manual

MIDI Controller Pedal Hookup

Several QuadraVerb GT parameters can be changed remotely over MIDI.
Usually this is done with a footpedal that generates MIDI continuous
controller data. There are 128 controllers, most of which are available for
remote parameter control (some of the higher-numbered controllers are
used to set up synthesizer modes and other things we donÕt need to
worry about).
The basic idea is to set the parameter to be controlled to a particular
controller number. Then set the pedal to the same controller number. As
you vary the pedal, it will generate data that will change the QuadraVerb
GT parameter. For example, assigning a foot pedal to delay feedback
would allow you to kick in a slapback delay at the end of a phrase.
The MIDI controller pedal may be part of your footswitch unit, a separate
stand-alone device, or a combination standard volume pedal and
converter (e.g., Anatek Pocket Pedal). Synthesizers and other devices
also generate MIDI continuous controller data.
If you want to feed the QuadraVerb GT with both a footswitch for
program change control and a pedal for real time control, either the
footswitch or pedal will need a merging input, or you will need a MIDI
merger.
