XPRESSION PEDAL SET-
TINGS
ToneLab LE provides two expression pedals that
you can use to control not only wah or volume,
but a wide variety of effect parameters. For each
program, you can specify which effect will be
controlled, and how.
HINT: If you assigned a parameter to an expression
pedal, operating the pedal has the same result
as using the knob to edit the program. When
you write the program, it will be written with the
sound as currently specified by the position of
the pedal. However if the expression pedal tar-
get is "--OFF--," "VOLUME," "M/PITCH," "D/
INPUT," or "R/INPUT," the program parameter
will not be edited by the pedal.

Here's a very easy and convenient way to set the
expression target.
As an example, use the MODULATION selector
to choose PITCH SHIFTER. So that the effect
will be easy to hear, we'll initialize the PITCH
SHIFTER. If PITCH SHIFTER is already
selected, turn the selector to choose a different
effect, and then re-select PITCH SHIFTER.
1. When you're editing PITCH SHIFTER, turn
value knob 1 or use the √ √ √ √ , ® ® ® ® buttons to
make the name display show PITCH; the
EXP-CTL-CHAIN button will light. If in this
state you press and hold (for one second)
the EXP-CTL-CHAIN button, the name dis-
play will indicate COMPLETE. The PITCH
parameter has now been assigned to the
expression pedal, letting you control the
amount of PITCH SHIFT. If you want to
make more detailed settings, you can press
the EXP-CTL-CHAIN button and set the
minimum value ("EXP MIN," value knob 2)
and maximum value ("EXP MAX," value
knob 3) of the target range.
NOTE: If you change the effect type of a parameter
that is assigned to an expression target (i.e., to
be controlled by one of the expression pedals),
the target will be initialized to a setting of "--
OFF--". (However, "A/*****", "D/INPUT", and
"R/INPUT" are exceptions.)
HINT: If you've set the PEDAL effect type to "VOX WAH,"
the "P/MANUAL" (wah position) will automatically

When you've pressed the EXP-CTL-CHAIN but-

UICK SSIGN
Using the same example we described earlier in
Quick Assign, here's how to assign the expres-
sion pedal to control the PITCH parameter of the
PITCH SHIFTER modulation effect.

be assigned to expression. If you then set the
PEDAL effect to a different type without making
any further settings, the Target, Min, and Max set-
tings will automatically return to their former set-
tings. (However in the case of "P/******", it will be
initialized to "--OFF--" instead of returning to its
former setting.)
MIN and MAX values will be initialized.

that is assigned to an expression target, the
target will be initialized to a setting of "--OFF--".
(However, "A/*****", "D/INPUT", and "R/INPUT"
are exceptions.)
If you've set the PEDAL effect type to "VOX
WAH," the "P/MANUAL" (wah position) will
automatically be assigned to expression. If you
then set the PEDAL effect to a different type
without making any further settings, the target
setting will also automatically return to the
former setting.
Press the EXP-CTL-CHAIN button to make
it blink.
Press the √ and ® buttons or turn value
knob 1 until the value display reads "EP."
Use the ▲, ▼ buttons or turn value knob 1
to make the name display read "M/PITCH".
The PITCH parameter of the PITCH
SHIFTER effect has now been assigned to
