How can I use an expression pedal with TimeLine MX?

An expression pedal can be used to control any combination of knobs on TimeLine MX. The specific knobs which the expression pedal will control are saved on a per-preset basis. This means that each preset can be configured to control a completely different set of knobs.

1. To configure your TimeLine MX for expression mode, press and hold the VALUE encoder for 2 seconds to enter the GLOBAL settings menu. Turn the VALUE knob to select EXP MODE, then press VALUE to display options. Turn the VALUE encoder again to select PEDAL, then press the VALUE encoder to commit the setting.
2. Connect your expression pedal to the EXP port on TimeLine MX via a TRS cable.
3. On the Home screen, press the VALUE encoder to enter the PARAM menu for the preset. Turn VALUE to select the 1+2 EXP Setup option and press VALUE to enter the setup options screen.
4. Within the EXP Setup screen, the MIDI EXP ON/OFF setting is initially selected and set to ON by default, as indicated by the double arrows in the display on the pedal. No change is necessary for this ON setting.
5. While the EXP Setup screen is displayed, rock the connected expression pedal fully to its minimum “heel” position. Double-arrows appear to the right of the HEEL parameter, indicating it is ready to learn the knob and value to be assigned. Turn the knob intended to be controlled, such as MIX in this example, and set the knob value desired to be used as the pedal’s HEEL (minimum) value.
6. Rock the expression pedal fully to its maximum “toe” position. The double-arrows will now appear to the right of the TOE parameter. Turn the MIX knob to set the preferred TOE (maximum) value.
7. Once the above settings are made, the pedal assignments are configured. Press and hold the VALUE encoder for 1 second to back
   out of the EXP Setup and PARAM screens and start using the pedal with the configured preset.

*NOTE: Save the preset to retain its expression pedal settings. Pedal assignment settings are stored individually per preset.

*NOTE: The EXP Setup is a “shared” 1+2 type that can control parameters for both Delay 1 and 2. Once a knob is assigned to the expression pedal, it will control this knob for only the delay in focus, unless otherwise set. To control the same parameter for the other delay, press TYPE to change the delay focus when first assigning the “Heel” position setting, then do the same for both Delay 1 and 2 on the “Toe” setting.
