Play Electric – Reference manual (2014-07-16) 65
Using a Switch-3 for looping
Connecting a Switch-3 (optional) to your Play
Electric will give you permanent access to loop-
ing without having to use the DOWN and UP
footswitches. It frees up those footswitches, so
you can assign them to key/scale selection. This
will also allow you to change presets without
having to go in and out of Loop mode.
The Switch-3 buttons are mapped as follows:
►
Rec/Play/Odub
►
Stop/Erase (Hold for Erase)
►
Undo
The benefit of having the Undo feature assigned
to a separate footswitch is the ability to perfectly
time your undo instead of waiting a moment for
a “hold” to be registered.
Play Electric footswitch assignments
when using a Switch-3
When a Switch-3 is plugged in and Switch-3
mode is set to Looping, key/scale selection is
automatically assigned to the DOWN and UP
footswitches of your Play Electric.
When the Switch-3 is unplugged, the DOWNand
UP footswitches revert to whatever the UP/DN
setting was prior to connecting the Switch-3.
