Function

perform a variety of functions. The footswitch jacks are designed to accept 
momentary footswitches which connect the tip and ring. PX-7 senses 
either normally-on or normally-off switches on power-up.
Each footswitch can be independently programmed. The following 
functions can be controlled via the footswitches.
• MIDI Footswitch In this mode the footswitch is routed to the Patch-
Cord in the Preset Edit, Cords menu. (See pages 228 
and 236.) It is also transmitted out on the Foot-
switch Controller number as programmed in the 
Controllers menu. (See page 143.)

button on the front panel. Pressing the footswitch 
again activates the front panel Stop button.

the front panel. This works well in combination 
with the following function.

Stop button. Pressing the footswitch again invokes
