Using an appropriately wired footswitch, the following functions can be accessed:
FootSwitch 1:
- Tap
- Bypass/Reset
- Fade Main*
FootSwitch 2:
- Channel
- Function
- Page*
* The third switch
Tap
This button works the same as in the original JamMan: Initially "taps"
in the loop size but thereafter toggles the selected Function on and off.
Bypass/Reset
This button toggles the Main Bypass on and off (dry is not bypassed)
when pressed. Holding this button resets (clears) all the loops.
Fade Main
Pressing this button begins a Main Fade operation. An "F" is displayed
and the three mode leds cycle up or down to show fading up or down. Note
that during fades, other operations are disabled. Pressing the button during
a fade stops the fade.
Holding the button during a fade reverses the direction. As such, the fade can be used to control the audio level of the loops as a group.
When the fade reaches silence, the system enters the bypass mode. Pressing the BYPASS button immediately turns the audio back on but pressing Fade Main gradually fades the audio back on. When full level is reached, normal operation is restored. This can though of as an extention of the bypass mode.
Channel
This select the current channel. Presses cycle through the available
channels (number of initialized channels + 1). Holding the button selects
the channel. If the channel has not yet been initialized, an initialization
is enqueued which will start at the next loop boundry. If the channel has
been initialized, holding the Channel button makes the displayed channel
"Active" (Functions can now be applied to that channel).
Function
This button steps through the available functions. When a function
number is displayed, pressing the TAP button enables the Function.
Page
This selects the current Page. Presses cycle through the available
Pages (number of initialized pages + 1). Holding the button selects the
Page. If the Page has not yet been initialized, an initialization is enqueued
which will start at the next loop boundry. If the page has been initialized,
holding the Page button enques loading the page (and its loops and channel
settings).
