LIQUID-FOOT PRO SERIES MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER
STEP THRU:
Step-Thru commands allow presets and IA Switches to create a multi-tap functionality. Each
time you press an IA Switch or Preset, you may cycle through a set of programming in
“steps”. Steps are only limited by the amount of memory you have. For Presets to function-
Preset-Retrigger must be turned on in the Global Parameters.
Step-Thru programming is broken up into two separate areas. The first set of commands are
called global commands and each of these programmed MIDI events will trigger each time
the IA Switch is pressed. The global section is separated by the Step thru SPECIAL command
with a first STEP command. Step commands are programmed by picking “SPECIAL” as the
MIDI command, and then selecting the special command as the Data 1 value with its
parameter as Data 2 value. The full command is [
SP, D1:COMMAND, D2: 000
].
The next set of MIDI commands will trigger upon the first press of the IA button. The LCD
will show S01 on the top-right corner of the display. This is to indicate the Step being
triggered is for an IA Switch and the # of the step just triggered. Step #1 is separated again
with a STEP command [
SP, C:SPECIAL, D1:STEP THRU D2:000
]. This is followed by one or
more normal MIDI commands to be triggered on the next press of the IA switch. Repeat this
process for as many steps as you need/can fit in memory. Once you have pressed the IA
switch and triggered the last STEP, the IA Switch will begin at STEP #1 and cycle through all
the programmed steps. IA Switches set to STEP-THRU will blink briefly to indicate they are
Step Thru IA switches.
STRUCTURE OF MIDI-ON PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE FOR STEP-THRU IA
All programmed MIDI commands prior to first STEP command are
considered Global Commands. They will trigger EVERY time the IA Switch
is Pressed
[SP C:SPECIAL, D1:STEP THRU, D2:000] “Step” command defines first
Step. All commands following this first Step command and located
prior to next STEP Command will trigger on first Press
[SP C:SPECIAL, D1:STEP THRU, D2:000] “Next Step” command defines
Second Step. Commands following Second Step command and prior to
Next STEP command will trigger on Second Press of IA Switch.
Continue Step 3 until all Steps desired are programmed
