3. Operating the SWITCH-6

The SWITCH-6 functions as an extension of your TC Helicon processor, providing dedicated physical controls for various parameters. The specific functions assigned to each of the six switches are determined by the settings within your connected TC Helicon device.

3.1 Grunnaðgerðir

Upon connection, the SWITCH-6 will typically be recognized by your TC Helicon processor. Refer to your processor's manual for detailed instructions on how to assign functions to external footswitches. Common assignments may include:

• Looping Control: Switches labeled 'PLAY/REC', 'STOP/CLR', and 'LOOP INC' are often used for recording, playing, stopping, clearing, and incrementing loops.
• Effect Toggle: Activating or deactivating specific effects (e.g., reverb, delay, harmony).
• Forstillt leiðsögn: Moving up or down through presets or banks of presets.
• HIT Function: Engaging a 'HIT' function for momentary effect changes or boosts.

Pressing a footswitch will send a control signal to the connected processor, triggering the assigned function. The responsiveness and behavior of the switches are dependent on the configuration of your main TC Helicon unit.
