Hey Guys!!
I was wondering if there’s a way to switch tracks in SONG mode using a footswitch in the MO8.
Thank u in advanced!! |

No. That is not possible. Typical MIDI commands work on channel messages, there is no message that a foot switch could send to change channels (which is really what you want to do)… for a lot of good reasons. Literally, thousands of players learn to press a button with plenty of time to return to the keyboard. You’d be amazed at how easily it can be accomplished. Arranger workstations work entirely on the ability of a player to reach up and select a front panel function while maintaining musical flow. If you need to maintain the sound on one MIDI channel while switching to another (via the front panel buttons) use a sustain pedal. |

Thanx Phil I guess I’ll have to keep practicing in order to do that quickly. Salz |
