Operating

The F4 footswitch controller offers versatile control over your MOOER Prime P1 or other compatible devices. The specific functions of each footswitch (A, B, C, D) are typically assigned and configured within the connected device's software or app.

Preset Switching

In preset mode, each footswitch can be assigned to switch between different presets or patches on your connected device. A single press typically activates the assigned preset.

Looper Control

When controlling a looper function, the footswitches can be assigned to actions such as:

• Record/Play: Start recording a loop or play back the current loop.
• Overdub: Add layers to an existing loop.
• Stop: Halt loop playback.
• Undo/Redo: Reverse or reapply the last looper action.
• Clear: Delete the current loop.

Drum Machine Control

For devices with a built-in drum machine, the F4 footswitches can be configured to control various drum machine parameters:

• Start/Stop: Begin or end drum pattern playback.
• Pattern Select: Cycle through different drum patterns.
• Tap Tempo: Set the tempo of the drum machine by tapping a footswitch.

Note: Refer to the specific manual of your MOOER Prime P1 or other compatible device for detailed instructions on assigning and customizing footswitch functions.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the F4 controller, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes, as these may damage the finish or internal components.

Battery Care

• Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
• If storing the device for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50% to prolong battery life.
• Recharge the device every few months if not in use to prevent deep discharge.
