In case of dedicated firmware for HX Stomp, controller can work in five modes:
- Preset Mode (with moving TAP*) – In that mode you can choose presets in banks (of the controller) of three presets. Function based on Program Change MIDI message
- Snapshot Mode (with moving TAP*) – Recalling snapshots 1-3
- FS Mode – access to FS4, FS5, Tap tempo & Tuner
- Looper Mode – control over looper block in HX Stomp (record/overdub, play/stop, undo)
- CC mode – each button can work as CC toggle, which can be assigned to block bypass/parameters
*Moving TAP is special feature – allows to TAP tempo using button of currently selected preset / snapshot. First press of the button recalls preset/snapshot and the next presses of the same button sends TAP tempo.
