Two functions of the EPP400 can be controlled by remote footswitch facilities
located on the rear panel. The EPP400 bypass function can be controlled by the
BYPASS ON/OFF jack. The bank / patch number can be advanced by the PROG
SHIFT jack. To use these features, connect a momentary-type footswitch such as
the Ibanez FS1M using a standard ¼" mono phono plug to the PROG ON/OFF or
PROG SHIFT jack.
If controlling the bypass function of the EPP400, each press of the footswitch will
alternate between active and bypass. If advancing the bank / patch number, each
press of the footswitch will advance the bank / patch setting by one.
Non momentary-type footswitches (push on, push off) can be connected to either
of these jacks, but this type of footswitch must be pressed twice in order to affect
a change. For this reason, a momentary-type footswitch is recommended.
When using a footswitch for controlling the bypass function or the bank / patch
advance function, the front panel BYPASS, INC and DEC buttons are disabled.
6. Using the IFC60 Remote Switching Feature
The IFC Intelligent Foot Controller allows immediate remote access to all 128
bank / patch locations in the EPP400 and to the bypass function. The IFC60 has a
3-digit LED readout that displays the current EPP400 bank / patch number.
Connect the IFC60 to the REMOTE DIN jack.
When the IFC60 is first powered up, its display flashes the MIDI channel number
3 times. Then the initial bank / patch setting will flash then hold. The MIDI
operation channel and the initial bank / patch setting can be changed. Refer to the
IFC60 Owners' Manual for details about changing these settings.
7. MIDI Information
The 128 program locations of the EPP400 can be accessed by MIDI (Musical
Instrument Digital Interface) information from a synthesizer, computer, or other
MIDI controller. The EPP400 can be programmed to accept directives on any of
the 16 MIDI channels.
Connect the MIDI information source to the MIDI IN DIN jack using a standard
MIDI cable. Next, determine which MIDI operation channel is being used by the
MIDI information source. Change the EPP400 MIDI operation channel to match
the information source's channel, as follows.
Press the PROG button to enter Program Mode – the bank and patch LEDs start to
blink.
Press the MIDI button to enter Program MIDI Mode – the current MIDI operation
channel is displayed using the bank and patch display LEDs.
