Command Center
HX Stomp XL is also capable of acting as a master remote control for your other live
performance or studio gear. Each of its Stomp mode footswitches and expression
pedals can be used to send a variety of messages:
• Transmit MIDI CC, Program Change, Note, and MMC commands to your guitar
amps, pedals, synths, or even other modelers.
• Send QWERTY Hotkey messages, emulating a computer keyboard, to practically
any software to control it from your device (see “QWERTY Hotkey Commands”
on page 51).
• Congurefootswitchestoexpandyourdevice’sStompmodewithadditionalcontrol
functions (see “HX Preset, Snapshot, and Looper Commands” on page 52 ).
• In addition, up to six “Instant” commands can be transmitted automatically
whenanHXEects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, MMC, and
HX Looper messages, plus the state (dim or lit) of any CC Toggle messages, are
automatically recalled when selecting a snapshot.
NOTE: By default, all MIDI-based Command Center messages are transmitted
via MIDI and USB simultaneously. You can customize MIDI behaviors using the
“Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo” options.
