EDITING TRIGGERSWhen editing triggers it is recommended that you first figure out the correct
POLARITY
and the right
TRIGGER MODE
that works best with your equipment. Only then can you easily assign trigger states to all
your presets.
POLARITY
and
TRIGGER MODE
are global for the PXL-Live, so you only have to set them up once and
they will be the same for all presets.
TRIGGER POLARITY EDITING
Hold
MUTE
for longer than 1 second to enter EDIT mode and use
Bank +/-
to navigate to
EP
.
Now you can use switches
A and B
to change the polarity of Triggers
T1 and T2
.
A: T1 B: T2
The LEDs on the Triggers will indicate their ON/OFF status which corresponds to their polarity. (For example:
If your Amplifier has a clean and a distorted channel, TRIGGER ON can be distorted
OR
TRIGGER ON can
be the clean channel.) Adjust the polarity depending on your needs.
Use
Bank +/-
to navigate to the next menu item to edit it, hold
MUTE
to save or click
MUTE
to exit without
saving.
TRIGGER MODE EDITING
Hold
MUTE
for longer than 1 second to enter EDIT mode and use
Bank +/-
to navigate to
EM
.
Now you can use switches
A and B
to change the mode of Triggers
T1 and T2
.
A: T1 B: T2
LED
ON
represents
Momentary Mode
, which means that the trigger send a short trigger message (like it is
telling your gear TURN ON or TURN OFF)
LED
OFF
represents
Latch
mode, which means that the trigger holds the on or off message, like keeping
your foot on the switch. (like it is telling your gear STAY ON or STAY OFF)
Which one works best for your switching needs depends on your equipment. Consult the manual of your
gear or try both options and see what works best.

TRIGGER ACTIONS
Hold
MUTE
for longer than 1 second to enter EDIT mode and use
Bank +/-
to navigate to
ET
(shown as Et).
Now you can use switches
A and B
to change the state of Triggers
T1 and T2
.
A: T1 B: T2
Pay attention to the Trigger LEDs to keep track of your changes.
This way, you can switch a series of pedals, which are connected to the loops (8 in front of the amp OR 4 in
front and 4 in the FX loop), and your amp (or other switchable device, like the Joyo D-Seed Dual Channel
Digital Delay) at the same time.
For example:
You could have your amp on the clean channel (e.g. Trigger 1 OFF) with an overdrive pedal,
chorus and some delay on PRESET A on Bank 1 and then switch to PRESET B, which switches to a phaser
and changes your amp to the distorted channel. All this can be accomplished with just one press of a
footswitch.
Use
Bank +/-
to navigate to the next menu item to edit it, hold
MUTE
to save or click
MUTE
to exit without
saving.
BYPASSED TRIGGER ACTIONS
Hold
MUTE
for longer than 1 second to enter EDIT mode and use
Bank +/-
to navigate to
EB
(shown as Eb).
Now you can use switches
A and B
to change the state of Triggers
T1 and T2
.
A: T1 B: T2
Pay attention to the Trigger LEDs to keep track of your changes.
The use of this mode is to be able to BYPASS all of your pedals (connected to the loops) and at the same
time switch your amp (or other switchable device).
For example:
You are on PRESET C on Bank 2, which you set up to be a nice clean sound, using the clean
channel of your amp, with a compressor, clean boost, chorus and reverb (4 pedals). Now you want to switch
easily to an overdriven rhythm sound, using the second channel on your amp, but without any effects. In this
case you program a BYPASSED TRIGGER ACTION to the same preset. (preset C on bank 2). Now you just
click the switch C on bank 2
AGAIN
, putting it into bypass and therefore bypassing all your pedals while at
the same time switching the channel on your amplifier.
