Frequently Asked Questions

Each footswitch can send Program Change, MIDI CC, or Note On/Off messages, giving you a lot of flexibility in how you control your gear.
No, the F8 itself doesn't have visual indicators; you'll need to monitor the MIDI output on a sequencer or other MIDI device to see which switches are active.
