Tom Williams Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hi folks. I am trying to execute two opposite tasks with one pedal (pedal 2): When the pedal is up, Zone one sounds, and zone 2 is muted. When the pedal's down, Zone 2 sounds and zone 1 is muted (or disabled). It's easy enough to do zone enable for pedal 2 and enable pedal 2 for zone 2, but how to turn off zone 1 at the same time has me flummoxed.

Brad Saucier Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It's not possible to do zones with one pedal, but you can do that with layers in a hex layer tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlenK Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 IMO this is actually a pretty basic ask; enabling and disabling combinations of zones using the foot pedal. The lack of that capability is an unfortunate omission, again IMO. I wanted to do the same thing on the XW-P1 when I first got it. But it doesn't do it either, at least not without some programming. I finally figured out how and it required using the step sequencer. I posted an example in the XW-P1 downloads section. The way the step sequencer was designed makes it a pretty flexible tool. But of course the PX-5S doesn't have one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Saucier Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 From memory so I may miss a step: Press edit>stage setting>common>controller>pedal>target>set it to layer volume. Go to target 2 of the pedal and set that to a different layer volume. Go to the pedal min max levels and reverse the values for one target. You can adjust pedal on/off rate to create a smooth crossfade or fast switch. Change the pedal action to toggle or momentary, depending on how you want it to work. Go to stage setting zone edit>controller enable> and make sure your pedal is on for the proper zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Williams Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Thanks, Brad. I don't have mine in front of me, but the "layer volume" 1-6 rings a bell, and so it should be a good road map even if you missed a step somewhere. I shoulda thought of that.
