Command Center
The HX Eects device also just so happens to be a world-class master remote control
for your entire pedalboard or live rig. Each of its Stomp mode footswitches and con-
nected expression pedals can be used to send a variety of MIDI or External Amp com-
mands to your guitar amps, vintage pedals, synths, or even other modelers. In addi-
tion, up to six "Instant" commands can be transmitted automatically when a the HX
Eects device's preset is recalled, for starting your DAW, triggering a MIDI-controlled
lighting system, or switching presets on external gear.
All Command Center assignments are stored per preset, but they can be copied and
pasted to other presets. See "Copying and Pasting a Command"
NOTE: The Value parameters of any instant MIDI CC, Bank/Prog, and MMC mes-
sages, plus the state (dim or lit) of any CC Toggle and Ext Amp messages are
automatically recalled when selecting a snapshot.
NOTE: All MIDI-based Command Center messages are transmitted via MIDI Out
and USB simultaneously. Also see "Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo" for MIDI con-
guration options.
