MOTU interface.

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

Pedal type menu

You have two choices:

■ None

■ Normal

The Normal setting requires a momentary foot pedal

(switch).

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).

The MIDI message list

A pedal can generate one or more MIDI messages,

including MIDI notes, pitch bend, controllers, patch

changes, or sysex data. Up to 47 bytes of information can

be sent for pedal-up and pedal-down positions.
