RST Quick Start Guide
While the RST Midi Foot Controller has a deep and comprehensive feature set,for the majority of users, the primary concern will
be to assign the Switch Types, assign midi cc numbers to the Direct Access (DAC) switches and pedals, and set up various midi
program changes to the midi devices you wish to control. Then create Presets of various DAC combinations along with midi
program changes to organize your sounds.This quick start guide will assist you in getting up and running as quickly as possible.
Navigating The Display in Edit Mode
First you need to know is how to navigate the display. Once you have this down, its easy and intuitive to get around the RST.
After power up, press the CLEAR/EDIT switch to enter Edit Mode.You can then navigate thru the Edit pages with the BANK UP (+)
and BANK DOWN (-) switches. Once you are at the Edit Page you are looking for, notice the flashing block cursor. It will be flashing
over one of the editable fields. You can then move the flashing block cursor to another editable field by using the < (9 / Direct) and >
(0 / Store) switches directly on either side of the display. An RST Edit Mode page may have more than one editable field depending
on the functions on that page. Once you are on the field you want to edit (as indicated by the flashing block cursor) press the ENTER/
UNDO switch. The block cursor will now underscore to indicate the field can now be edited. Then use the BANK UP/DOWN (+/-)
switches to change the function to the desired value. This could be a particular function, a character or a number. If a number, you
can directly enter the number using the 10 numbered switches. Always use a leading zero. If you make a mistake, press the Clear/
Edit switch. Then re-enter the desired data. Once you have entered the correct data, press the ENTER/UNDO switch to store the
data. At this time, the block cursor will return. Seeing the block cursor means you are able to move to another Edit page, or exit Edit
mode and return to normal performance mode. To move to another Edit page, press the BANK UP/DOWN (+/-) switches. To exit Edit
Mode, press the CLEAR/EDIT switch. Note: You must see the flashing block cursor in order to leave the editable field and/or
Edit page.
Assigning Switch Types in Edit Mode
The first thing you will likely want to do is set up your switch types. Factory default is all switches = Preset A . This means all user
assignable switches operate as Preset A switches in normal Performance (Bank) Mode. However, when Direct Mode, all switches
will respond as Direct Access Controller (DAC) switches. Direct Mode is activated by pressing the DIRECT (< / 9) switch. Toggle this
switch to instantly change between Direct Mode and Performance (aka Bank or Preset A) Mode at any time. Remember: If you have
assigned switches to any type other than Preset A, they will remain as assigned in either Performance or Direct Mode.
Note: No matter how many Preset A switches you have assigned, those switches become DAC switches in Direct Mode.
Currently there are 16 different Switch types.We will concern ourselves with DACs and Preset A assignments for this tutorial.
Switch Types are global; that is, the same in all Banks. See user manual for complete description of all Switch Types.
Chances are, you will want to have a certain number of dedicated Preset A switches, and the rest be Direct Access Controller (DAC)
switches which will free you from having to toggle between Direct and Performance (Preset A) Modes. Its up to you. You can always
change (add or delete Preset A switches) while always retaining the Preset data in memory. And you will always have 200 Banks.
Assigning DAC CC and Channel #s in Edit Mode
To Assign Switch Types:
1. Find the SWITCH TYPE page in Edit Mode
(See “Navigating the Display in Edit Mode” above).
2. Select the Switch you want to edit. The Display will show the switch
number,and the LEDs will be their respective colors based on type.
3. Press the ENTER/UNDO switch to underscore the editable field
and use the BANK UP/DOWN(+/-)switches to select the switch
type. The LED will change color depending on the switch type. Red
= DAC. Blue = Preset A. Once you see the switch type you want,
press the ENTER/UNDO switch to store the change. The block
cursor will now be displayed,allowing you to leave the field or page.
4. Repeat #2 and #3 for each switch.
Once you have set up your switch types you will want to assign midi cc and channel numbers to your DAC switches. These
assignments are global: that is, the same in all Banks. DAC cc value = 000 (LED off) and =127 (LED on) when LED edit field = “+”
You can reverse the LED to cc value relationship so that cc value 000=LED On and 127 = LED off by Setting the Edit field to “-”
You can assign both midi cc and channel numbers for each DAC switch in the RST regardless of its switch assignment. This way
you can go back and forth, assigning or un-assigning Preset A switches without fear of losing controller # or channel #s for each
switch. The DAC Edit page also displays the Switch Type for the selected switch. You can also send midi Notes instead of CC’s.
In addition to midi cc#s assigned to physical switches (DACs) the RST has an additional set of up to 8 user programmable cc’s
called VCA’s(and B’s) each on their own midi channels whose states can be sent out via Preset A (or B) selection. Both their setup
and states have their own Edit Mode pages and can be accessed via standard Edit Mode navigation. See User Guide for more
details on these powerful features.
