Configuring a footswitch and “Quick Keys”

The “Quick Keys” settings screen is where the mapping of Mx200 functions to keypad keys and footswitch buttons can be configured.

Number Pad Use the Number Pad quick key page to assign a specific part program to a number key on the keypad. When assigned, that number pad key will automatically load and play the corresponding part program number. To assign a number from the keypad to a part program; • Step 1: Select the “Number Pad” item from the Quick Keys settings menu. • Step 2: Choose the number pad number you would like to assign your program to. “0” through “9” will be available for assignment. • Step 3: Pr ess the “Assign” softkey. • Step 4: At the next prompt enter the desired program number that you would like to assign the keypad number to. • Step 5: Press the “Ok” softkey to confirm the selection.
