An Application For Using Two Stereo Foot Switches to Bypass Effects

The DP/4+ allows you to employ two stereo foot switches (such as the ENSONIQ SW-10) to turn
the DP/4+'s four effects processors on and off. To set up your foot pedals:
1. Connect one foot pedal to the Foot Switch 1 jack on the DP/4+'s back panel.
2. Connect the other foot pedal to the Foot Switch 2 jack.
3. Physically place the two foot pedals side-by-side, with the first to the left of the other.

4. Press the {SYSTEM"MIDI} button on the DP/4+'s front panel.
5. Press the {>} or {<} button until the large red number reads "06" and the top line of the
display shows "Unit A Bypass=."
6. Turn the large silver Data Entry Knob to dial in "Ftsw 1-L Toggle."
7. Press {>} until the red number shows "13" and the display reads "Unit B Bypass=." Dial in
"Ftsw 1-R Toggle."
8. Press {>} until the red number shows "20" and the display reads "Unit C Bypass=." Dial in
"Ftsw 2-L Toggle."
9. Press {>} until the red number shows "27" and the display reads "Unit D Bypass=." Dial in
"Ftsw 2-R Toggle."
Each foot switch is now assigned to its own processor:
turns Unit A
on and off
Note: Whether it's the effect being added to a sound (bypass/unbypass) — or the
sound itself (kill/unkill) —is determined by each Unit's "(b)ypass and (k)ill" setting.
See the description of the Bypass/Kill parameter in Section 3—Config Parameters for
more information.
