Product Usage Instructions
Saving a Preset via MIDI:
To save a preset:
- Send a Program Change message while holding down both foot switches.
- Sending a Program Change message of a specific number will save your current settings to that preset slot.
- There are 122 total slots with slots 1 and 2 corresponding to the preset toggle on the pedal.
Recalling a Preset via MIDI: To recall a preset:
- Simply send a Program Change message to the pedal.
- If the target slot is empty, nothing will be recalled.
- Sending a Program Change message of 0 puts the pedal in Live mode with current settings.
You can use MIDI with Onward to control any of its parameters, sync to external clock, and save and recall up to 122 presets.
- Onward receives MIDI through a standard ¼” TRS patch cable. If your controller has a 5-pin output, the Chase Bliss MIDIBox is a simple way to convert 5-pin MIDI to TRS (the MIDIBox is not included with Onward).
- Onward is set to MIDI channel 2 by default, but it’s easy to change. Simply hold down both foot switches when you power up the pedal. The pedal is now looking for the first Program Change (PC) or Continuous Control (CC) message it sees, and it will then set itself to that channel.
SAVING A PRESET VIA MIDI
- Presets are both saved and recalled using Program Change (PC) messages.
- To save a preset, send a Program Change message while holding down both foot switches. Sending a Program Change message of 45, for example, will save your current settings to preset 45.
- There are 122 total slots.
- Slots 1 and 2 correspond to the preset toggle on the pedal. Slot 1 is the right slot. Slot 2 is the left slot.
RECALLING A PRESET VIA MIDI
- To recall a preset, simply send Onward a Program Change message.
- If the target slot is empty, nothing will be recalled. There are no factory presets besides the two that come loaded in slots 1 and 2.
- Sending a Program Change message of 0 puts the pedal in “Live” mode, matching the pedal’s current settings.
