How can I use MultiSwitch Plus with NightSky?

There are several modes to use with MultiSwitch Plus for expanded control over NightSky.  First you must set the EXP jack NightSky for the desired operation.

To configure NightSky for use with MultiSwitch Plus:

  1. Press and hold the INFINITE footswitch while connecting power to the pedal. Once the three footswitch LEDs and PRESET BUTTONS 1-6 light up, release the footswitch.
  2. Turn the SPEED knob all the way counter-clockwise to set the MIDI channel to Channel 1.  The ON LED should be GREEN.
  3. Turn the LENGTH knob all the way counter-clockwise to set the TRS MIDI OUT mode to ON.  The FAVORITE LED should be GREEN.
  4. Turn the REVERB knob to select the desired MultiSwitch Plus mode which will be displayed on the INFINITE LED.
    1. MIDI/3 Preset Mode (BLUE LED):  Allows access to three of the on-board presets on NightSky using the three footswitches on MultiSwitch Plus.
      1. The three presets correspond to presets 2, 3, and 4 of the first preset bank.
    2. PRESET SCROLL Mode (RED LED):  Scroll up and down the 16 on-board presets using the outer 2 footswitches on MultiSwitch Plus while the middle footswitch toggles the bypass of NightSky.
    3. MOD/TONE/VOICE Bypass Mode (WHITE LED):  Use MultiSwitch Plus to independently bypass the MOD, TONE, and VOICE sections of NightSky.
  5. Press the INFINITE footswitch to store the EXP jack mode and begin using NightSky.

Then, set MultiSwitch Plus for the correct mode of operation:

  • MIDI/PRESET Mode:  Press and hold the A footswitch while connecting MultiSwitch Plus to the EXP jack on NightSky.  The A footswitch LED will blink RED a few times while holding the switch down, then, all three footswitch LEDs will blink GREEN when released.
  • PRESET Scroll and MOD/TONE/VOICE Bypass Modes:  Press and hold the C footswitch while connecting MultiSwitch Plus to the EXP jack on NightSky.  The C footswitch LED will blink RED a few times while holding the switch down, then, all three footswitch LEDs will blink GREEN when released.

NOTE: If NightSky is in Sequence mode, loading a new preset will stop the sequence and cause the pedal to switch to Reverb mode.

NOTE: In MOD/TONE/VOICE Bypass Mode, the LEDs for each section will turn off when it is bypassed. These bypass settings can be saved to a preset, however, the LEDs for all sections will be lit when you recall the preset regardless of the bypass state.
