Re: [AN1x] Re: Using a foot for scene switching?

2006-09-15 by Jeff

Hello Lou !
when i assign the mod wheel as i've described previously the sounds 
changes "continuously" between both scenes . It's like having a balance 
pot . Of course when the wheel is fully up or down you will hear only 
scene 1 or scene 2 ; a foot pedal will do the same . Scene select must 
be done by a simple push button , just as the switches on the front panel .
