Controller Assign
The HX Eects 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 dierent 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 Eects device jumps to the Controller Assign page and displays your
parameter at Knob 1 (Parameter).

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).

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 Eects hardware has reserved specic 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!
