How do I use a footswitch to change individual RT Controls?
Here’s an example using Program A004: ![Tricky Kit]!
1) Make sure you have your damper pedal plugged in to the Damper
jack.
2) Check the top-level K.RTC Page (1.1-4). Here, we can experiment a bit
and find that turning KARMA SW1 on/off brings in an additional drum
pattern for more complexity. We can also find that knob 8 controls
adding repeats to the beat. We will substitute foot switch control for
these.
3) (6.4-3) [Menu]->[K RT]->tab[DynMIDI]. Set the first row to look like
this:
A/Damper #64 000/127 M RTParm Control
This routes the selected controller (Damper Pedal) into an RTParm
Control “matrix”.
4) (6.3-1) [Menu]->[K GE]->tab[GE P..4]. Here, we need to locate the
parms that we want to control with the pedal. We find that Parm #2 is
the one that is currently assigned to SW1. So instead, we assign it to
“Dyn1” (row 1 of the Dynamic MIDI settings we just set up. If we had
used row 2 to make the damper assignment, we would set this to Dyn2.)
Test it out – you can now turn the additional drum pattern on/off with
the damper.
