Figure 5-9: The Pedal tab.

Pedal basics

You can use a foot pedal to:

■ Generate MIDI data, such as notes, controllers, patch

changes, pitch bend, and system exclusive

■ Route the data from the pedal to any device

■ Convert an audio tempo source such as an audio click

into MIDI data in order to slave MIDI hardware or

software to the audio tempo source

Pedal type menu

You have three choices:

■ None

■ Normal

■ Click to MIDI

The Normal setting should be used for momentary foot

pedals. For the click-to-MIDI option, see “Using an audio

click as a tempo source” on page 49.

Polarity

Negative polarity reverses the direction of the pedal, so

that if it normally goes up when you press down, negative

polarity will make it go down (and vice versa).
