Determinación de los costos de operación de la flota propia para la propuesta

assign it to the Flanger, so that every time you hit a particular pedal, such as the control pedal, you can trigger the flange from a specific point.

Since getting the GT-8 I have had 4 arms removed. I now use my only pair to play the guitar. The internal pedal system changes effects settings when triggered. The Wave pedal changes an effects parameter constantly when that effect is on.

Whilst on the subject, I would like to know if anyone could help in the extra leg department. I could really do with at least one more than the usual two. In replacing the arm’s movements I need to trigger the internal pedal system.

One extra should be enough because the internal pedal system is set in the assigns and can be set to do different changes in different tempos over varying ranges with one step of the foot.

Well, if you just turned the Flanger On, it would start at any point in the waveform cycle. The beauty of the Internal Pedal is that you can trigger it, so that you control where you want it to start, and where you want it to peak, by assigning the Manual Parameter. So for example, you could set it to the CTL so that every time you step on it, it’s like a Jet taking off. Of course, this is just one use. You may choose to assign something like Pitch to it for a triggered whammy dive.

The Internal Pedal is for controlling any effect setting you want. It’s used to trigger an parameter to go from one value to another. Instead of having to reach down and turn a knob (like you would have to do on a real pedal), you can just step on the CTL pedal to do the same thing.

THE INTERNAL PEDAL

One thing I’ve noticed in many posts is that people are looking for a way to add yet one more foot control to the board. I currently use the Exp Pedal for Volume and Wah, the Sub Exp Pedal to control the Reverb level in all my patches and the CTL Pedal to switch between preamp A&B. I additionally wanted to be able to turn the OD, Chorus and Delay on and off within each patch; but this required another free “trigger” which I did not have. The “Internal Pedal System” was my answer.

The purpose and usage of this somewhat complex system is difficult to understand a first. In essence, it is simply another stomp switch or expression pedal that can be assigned to any one of a large number of parameters. You simply “relate” it to some other controller.

In my case, I wanted to turn the “Manual Mode” on and off without affecting any of the other controls I had already set. Here is how I did it.

Overview:

I assigned the Manual Mode On/Off switch to the Internal Pedal “Target” Exp Pedal-L. The Exp Pedal can be set to trigger events in “H”-high, “M”-middle or “L”-low position. See page 61 in the manual for details. Setting it to “L”

causes the low position (Pedal up) to act as a “switch”.

Return the Exp Pedal to low one time to turn on Manual Mode and return the Exp Pedal to low a second time to return to Patch Select Mode so you can go to the next requested patch. This gives the added bonus of being able to switch between preamps A & B using Pedal #1 and frees up the CTL Pedal for other duties! Hum, maybe for Solo on/off?

First, choose the Bank and Patch you wish to edit.

Second, Set up the functions of the controller (in this case the Exp Pedal) and edit it’s “ASSIGN” parameter. Most likely you will already have something (like Volume) assigned to “assign1”. So you will need to make this new assignment to “assign2” or any open assign slot up to assign8. Page 57 in the manual covers this.

Here’s how:

Depress “Assign-Variable” button twice. This will show “Quick Assign1” in the screen which will be blinking. Next depress right parameter button one more time until you see “Quick Assign2” or choose your next available assign slot.

Next depress the right parameter button or use the data wheel to move to the “Target” that reads “MANUAL On/Off”.

This is a LONG way down the list, so don’t give up – it’s in there.

Next depress the right parameter button once to “Target Min:” this should be Off. Again depress the right parameter button once to “Target Max:” and turn this to On with the Data wheel.

Depress the right parameter button once and you should see “Source”. Use the Data Wheel (not the parameter buttons) until it reads “INTERNAL PEDAL.

Continue depressing the right parameter button and set the following parameters. Source Mode: Toggle, Source Act. Range Lo: 0, Source Act. Range Hi: 127.

Next depress the parameter button one more time and you will come to the “Int-Pdl Trig: screen. Use the DATA Wheel to set it to “Exp Pedal-L”.

OK, now you are done with assigning the INTERNAL PEDAL to the Exp Pedal and having it turn the Manual Mode on/off.

Depress “Write” twice to save.

Now, if you move the Exp Pedal all the way up (heel down) you will see the “MANUAL” light turn on. You can now use the 1 through 4 pedals to turn the effects on and off.

Remember that in Manual Mode you can not switch patches or banks. To do that, simply move the Exp Pedal all the way up again and the “MANUAL” light will go out and you will be back into PATCH SELECT mode.

Hope some of you find this useful. Remember this is just one parameter that can be assigned to the Internal Pedal.

I’m sure you can come up with others!

First of all, your solution works great and I never even thought of that.

But there is an even easier solution to that problem:

SOURCE := EXP PED TARGET := MANUAL On/Off TARGET MIN := Off

TARGET MAX : = On LoRange := 0

HiRange := 1 MODE := Toggle

Compare this to your solution:

SOURCE := INTERNAL PEDAL TARGET := MANUAL On/Off TARGET MIN := Off

TARGET MAX : = On LoRange := 0

HiRange := 127 MODE := Toggle

INT PDL TRIG := EXP PDL-L

(TIME := xxx) (CURVE := xxx)

The Internal Pedal is actually meant for more sophisticated gradual changes.

For our problem(switching MANUAL on/off) you do not need a gradual switch. You need only a binary switch

(-->either “on” or “off”).

So your solution comes with a little overhead and makes things more complex than necessary.

The Internal Pedal offers those extra parameters:

TIME and CURVE

Those two extra parameters serve for customizing the gradual change.

Imagine, you want to gradually increase the Reverb Effect Level from 0 to 60 instead of switching it abruptly, this is when the gradual change of the internal pedal comes in handy.

There are actually 2 use cases, that require the internal pedal:

[1] you want a gradual change

[2] you want “Patch Change” as the trigger.

Other than that I would recommend to not use the Internal Pedal, cause it makes live unnecessarily complicated.

But please correct me if you know more than those two scenarios, in which the Internal Pedal cannot be substituted by easier alternatives. I am still overwhelmed by the quantity of options of the GT-8 myself, so I really might be wrong.

What the Internal Pedal does.

Lets say you come up with a patch that uses the expression pedal for volume change. And you have used up all of the other switch options. But you want to make your reverb level change as if you were using another expression pedal to do it.

You can make an Assign for this. Your assign might look like this:

TARGET := Reverb Level TARGET MIN := 10 TARGET MAX : = 50

SOURCE := INTERNAL PEDAL Mode:Normal

Range Low:0 Range Hi:127

Trigger:Expression Pedal-L Time:XXX

Curve:XXX

What this means is that when the expression pedal is moved to the low position, the Assign will activate like a switch went off. The Reverb level will start at 10 and work its way up to 50.The amount of time it will take to get to 50 is the Time setting. So its basically like turning the reverb level knob at a certain speed or by using an “imaginary”

expression pedal that starts its automatic movement once the Trigger is made, in this case the trigger is when the real expression pedal reaches its low setting. The curve setting can be set to increase slowly, normally, or fast. If you look in the manual you will see diagrams of the different curves. I hope that helps you understand.(I hope that came out right)

Jones, good example. But, this will also affect your volume level while you do it, so it has to be on a part of the song where you can drop out for a second. Here’s another way to use the I-Pedal (but you do have to have an available pedal)...

I have one patch where I want to kick on the Tremolo, and then have it fade away over about 4-5 seconds. I could use the EXP pedal to directly control the Depth, but then I wouldn’t be able to use the pedal for Volume. So, I have it set up with Trem on all the time, but the Depth = 0 (it’s as if it were turned off). Then, I have an assign set so one of my Sub-CTL pedals triggers the Internal Pedal, which controls the Tremolo Depth. Starts at 100, and slowly rolls back to 0. I don’t have it in front of me, but the settings are approximately:

Set FX1 On > Tremolo > Depth = 0, Rate = 80, Shape = 50 then, TARGET : Tremolo Depth

TARGET MIN : 100 TARGET MAX : 0

SOURCE : INTERNAL PEDAL Mode: Normal

Range Low: 0 Range Hi: 127 Trigger: Sub-CTL 2

Time: 60 (or close to that...)

Curve: Linear (could use whatever you like)

My ‘definition’ of the Internal Pedal: The Internal Pedal is a virtual expression pedal. When triggered by the selected event this virtual expression pedal takes a configurable amount of time to go from the returned (heel down) to depressed (toe down) positions following one of three curves (linear, slow rise, fast rise).

OR

The GT-8 does not have a triggered Flanger, but with the Internal Pedal, it can be. You simply set the rate of the Flanger to 0 and then assign the Fl Manual parameter to the Internal Pedal. This then can be assigned to something like the CTL Pedal so that each time you stomp on it, you can trigger a Flange Sweep.

It doesn’t end there though, any parameter can be assigned, like Pitch or Wah for pinpoint accurate Wah Sweeps.

Here’s something I came up with...

ASSIGN1=FV LEVEL MIN=0 MAX=100

SOURCE=INTERNAL TRIGGER=EXP PDL MODE=NORMAL

ASSIGN2=FV LEVEL MIN=100 MAX=0

SOURCE=INTERNAL TRIGGER=CTL PDL MODE=NORMAL

Now if FV=0 and I depress EXP PDL the volume will increase according to the TIME and VOLUME CURVE settings.

And then when I depress the CTL PDL the volume fades out accordingly. I can get a nice slow fade with out fiddling around with the foot pedal. Note that the volume of the patch will initialize to whatever you have the volume pdl set to (assuming you have PDL HOLD on). So if the volume is on/off I can switch to this patch and get a slow fade/swell depending.

Now let’s say you are lazy and you want the 8 to automatically fade from channel A to channel B when pressing the CTL pedal. Easy :

Assign1 : Target = ChannelA/Level, Min=0, Max=70, Source = INTERNAL PEDAL, Mode = Normal, Act Range = 0-127, Trigger = CTL PEDAL, time=75, curve = slow rise.

Assign1 : Target = ChannelB/Level, Min=70, Max=0, Source = INTERNAL PEDAL, Mode = Normal, Act Range = 0-127, Trigger = CTL PEDAL, time=75, curve = fast rise.
