LIQUID-FOOT PRO SERIES MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER
SWITCH TYPE
Use the UP/DOWN button to select the desired IA switch type. You can scroll between STOMP,
MOMENTARY and STEP-THRU types. Press SELECT to save your selection.
Stomp switch type is a latch type switch. Press it once to turn it on. Press again to turn it off.
This is the default mode of all IA switches.
Momentary type allows you to turn ON a the switch by pressing and holding the IA switch. Once
you let go of the switch, it goes back to an OFF state. Momentary switches support a SPECIAL CC
function #123 (*BLAST). BLAST allows an IA switch to trigger a specific CC# to all 16 MIDI
channels with a value of 127. A simple usage for the BLAST command is to fire TAP TEMPO to
multiple devices at the same time.
FOR SPECIAL USE FUNCTIONS (STEP-THRU).
Please refer to the section on MIDI
PROGRAMMING to learn about special functions.
Step-Thru type allows you to create a multi-tap function IA switch. 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. The full command is [
SP, D1:-STEP-, 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
.
