Controller Assign
The HX Eects device provides a wide variety of tools for controlling your tone during
a performance. The most obvious controller would be a connected expression pedal
(often assigned to Wah, Pitch Wham or Volume), but you may also assign footswitches
to toggle between two values of a given parameter or parameters, control a parameter
from an external MIDI device, or even have parameters instantly change when select-
ing dierent snapshots within a preset.
If a controller has been assigned to a parameter, small white nodes appear above and
below its value bar:

NOTE: Adding a Wah or Pitch Wham block automatically assigns it to be con-
trolled and bypassed by EXP 1. Adding a Volume Pedal or Pan block automati-
cally assigns it to be controlled by EXP 2.
Assigning a Controller
1. From Stomp mode, press and hold the knob for the parameter
you wish to control.
The HX Eects device jumps to the Controller Assign page and displays your
parameter at Knob 1 (Parameter).

NOTE: To manually access the Controller Assign menu, press and then
the CONTROLLER ASSIGN switch.
2. Press the LEARN switch.
The button’s brain icon glows blue and Footswitch 1 reads “Press switch, move
EXP, or send MIDI...”
3. Step on a footswitch, move a connected expression pedal,
send a MIDI CC message from your keyboard, etc.
The controller name appears above Knob 2 (Controller).
NOTE: To manually select a controller, turn Knob 2 (Controller).
None
Removes the controller assignment.
EXP 1 or 2
Expression pedals are the most common type of controller. Used
to control Volume, Wah, Pitch Wham, etc.
FS1-FS6
Stepping on a Stomp mode footswitch can toggle between a pa-
rameter's min and max values.
Selecting FS1-FS6 will display Knob 3 (Switch Type). Turn Knob 3
to select "Moment[ary]" or "Latch[ing]." Momentary means the
value will change for as long as you hold the switch. Latching tog-
gles between Min and Max values every time you press the switch.
MIDI CC Selecting "MIDI CC" will display Knob 3 (CC#). Turn Knob 3 to
select the desired MIDI CC number.
Snpsht
Although all controller-assigned parameters are updated per snap-
shot, an additional "Snapshots" controller is available when other
controllers are already used.
NOTE: Footswitch type (momentary or latching) is determined per foot-
switch, not per assignment.
NOTE: The HX Eects hardware has reserved specic MIDI CC messages
for global functions; these CCs cannot be used as controllers. If you attempt
to learn a CC message reserved for global functions, the following dialog
appears:
This MIDI CC is used
for global functions!
