41All A-16R front-panel editing commands are available from the A-16CS. You cannot,however control the analog insert send and return jacks or the Mix In level from theA-16CS. These are analog controls.A single Cat-5 cable is used to connect the A-16CS to the A-16R. Cables can be up to200 feet in length.Footswitch JackThe A-16CS can use any standard dual-pedal footswitch to select Presets in the A-16R. When using a dual pedal, the right-side pedal is used to move forward throughthe Preset list. The left pedal is used to move backward through the Preset list fromthe current selection.For example, if you have just loaded Preset 7 (by pressing the R ECALL button followedby the number 7 button), pressing the right pedal once will move to Preset 8. Pressingthe left pedal will move down one, returning you to Preset 7. Another press of theleft pedal loads Preset 6, and so on. Changes are reflected on the A-16CS and itsconnected A-16R host.As with other operations involving the A-16CS, the Remote/Local switch must bein the R EMOTE position in order for the footswitch to be functional. When a preset isselected via the footswitch, the corresponding numbered button’s LED on the frontpanel of the A-16R will flash to indicate that the Preset has been loaded.The Footswitch jack uses a TRS connection, designed for dual foot pedals. However,you can substitute a single footswitch (one that has only a tip-sleeve connection) ifnecessary. The Presets will move up only, and will wrap around from Preset 16 toPreset 1 at the end of the Preset list as described previously.The footswitch can be either a normally open or normally closed type. The pedal isscanned by the system software to determine which type it is, and to determine whatthe “up” state of the switch is. The foot pedal should be connected when the system ispowered up. If you change pedals while the system is in use, you may need to powercycle the unit if the type of pedal is different.Note: When selecting Presets with a footswitch, the selections willwrap around and start over after you reach the last numberedPreset.For example, when moving forward through the Preset list fromPreset 14, after two presses of the right footswitch you will beat Preset 16. One more press of the same footswitch will selectPreset 1, the first Preset in the list. Additional presses of the rightfootswitch continue selecting Preset 2, Preset 3, etc.
