I am attempting to figure out the most efficient and least prone to accident in "live" setting to do the following things.
1. Trigger PLAY on a Song on my MOXF when I am sitting several feet away, playing guitar and singing. Basically a Remote to at least Play and Stop.
2. Trigger a harmonizer (or any other outboard instrument) to come ON or OFF. I realize the device probably has it's own On/Off floor pedal or plug but, why not ask?
3. Can PC or CC or other Event right there in my Sequence be inserted and assigned o trigger an outboard device. Like for instance, can an Event be put into my Song sequences that tells a lighting instrument to turn ON (or Fade On. Or do a Blackout?) So that basically I build lighting cues into my linear sequence.
A momentary switch connected to the FOOT SWITCH jack can be programmed as Start/Stop. Configuration is under [UTILITY] [F5] [SF2] parameter Foot Switch Control Number (FS).
If your harmonizer has MIDI in and will "turn on" and "off" with a CC message, then you could possibly control it.
Sequences/Songs/Arps can contain CC messages 0-119. If your lighting recognizes these and are MIDI connected to your MOXF then this can do the trick.
