?FX Presets — activate/deactivate effects on the current device preset. Click to toggle.
Each preset defines which effects to turn on/off (delay, reverb, µMod, etc.). The preset on the device stays the same — only the effect blocks are switched.
MIDI automation: Assign a CC to each preset (edit mode). Other apps like Stage Traxx can trigger them by sending that CC. Use the Send button in edit mode to let the other app learn the CC.
Toggle: Click once to activate, click again to revert to the state before activation. Automation

?Footswitch indicators — shows the state of CC 102–107 received from the device's physical footswitches (Switch-3/Switch-6 pedal). These only activate when the footswitches on the device are configured to send MIDI CC.
Example: Configure a footswitch to CC102, then use it to start/stop a song in Stage Traxx.
Modes:
⇆ Toggle — flips on/off each time the CC is received.
⚡ Instant — flashes briefly on each CC.
↻ Loop-In — sends a looper input setting to the device (Vocal, Guitar, Aux, etc.). These are mutually exclusive — only one can be active.
Off — disables the button (dimmed). Use edit mode to configure. Footswitch
