The Footswitches – Play and Bank Mode
PitchFactor’s footswitches are multi-purpose and operate in one of three modes, Play Mode,
Bank Mode, and System Mode. In normal use, PitchFactor is in either Play Mode or Bank
Mode. System Mode is used to set up MIDI, external controls and various system parameters.
Pressing and holding the Right Footswitch switches between Play and Bank Mode.
Play Mode
In Play Mode, the Billboard displays the effect name or, for Diatonic and Quadravox, the
musical key. Three Footswitches are used to control the effect.
Active Footswitch
The “Active” footswitch is used to toggle between Active and Bypass. The Active LED is lit
orange when the Effect is in use. When Bypassed, the Active LED is off.
Flex/Learn Footswitch
The action of the middle footswitch depends on which effect is currently running.

playing a note and PitchFactor will set the key to that note.
