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.
