Using the expression pedals
EXPRESSION PEDAL SETTINGS
ToneLabSE provides two expression pedals that you can use to control not only
wah or volume, but a wide variety of effect parameters. For each program, you can
specify which effect will be controlled, and how.
HINT: If you’ve assigned a parameter to an expression pedal, operating the pedal
has the same result as using the knob to edit the program. This means that when
you operate the pedal, the EDIT icon will light. When you write the program, it will
be written with the sound as currently specified by the position of the pedal. How-
ever if the expression target is “--OFF--,” “VOLUME,” “M/PITCH,” “D/INPUT,” or “R/
INPUT,” the program will not be edited by the pedal.
EXPRESSION TARGET QUICK ASSIGN
Here’s a very easy and convenient way to set the expression target.
As an example, use the MODULATION selector to choose PITCH SHIFTER. So
that the effect will be easy to hear, we’ll initialize the PITCH SHIFTER. If PITCH
SHIFTER is already selected, turn the selector to choose a different effect, and
then re-select PITCH SHIFTER.

but-
tons to make the name display show PITCH; the EXPRESSION button will
light. If in this state you press and hold (for one second) the EXPRESSION
button, the name display will indicate COMPLETE. The PITCH parameter has
now been assigned to expression pedal 1, letting you control the amount of
PITCH SHIFT. If you want to make more detailed settings, you can press the
EXPRESSION button and set the minimum value (“EXP1 MIN,” value knob 2)
and maximum value (“EXP1 MAX,” value knob 3) of the target range.
In the same way, whenever the EXPRESSION button is lit during editing, you
can press and hold the CONTROL button for one second to assign expression
pedal 2 to control the parameter that is currently shown in the name display.
NOTE: If you change the effect type of a parameter that is assigned to an expres-
sion target (i.e., to be controlled by one of the expression pedals), the target will be
initialized to a setting of “--OFF--”. (However, “A/*****”, “D/INPUT”, and “R/INPUT”
are exceptions.)
HINT: If you’ve set the PEDAL effect type to “VOX WAH,” the “P/MANUAL” (wah
position) will automatically be assigned to expression 1. If you then set the PEDAL
effect to a different type without making any further settings, the Target, Min, and
Max settings will automatically return to their former settings. (However in the case
of “P/******”, it will be initialized to “--OFF--” instead of returning to its former set-
ting.)
NOTE: When you change the expression target, the MIN and MAX values will be
initialized.
