Congratulations on the purchase of your new BIG FOOT MIDI-controller.

To ensure years of 100% reliable and trouble free use, please read this users manual very carefully.

T-Rex grants a 2-year warranty against defective parts or workmanship.
In the event of a defect, please contact the nearest T-Rex dealer.

BIG FOOT MIDI-controller can be used either as an ordinary MIDI-board, or as a Combo-board in co-opera­tion with T-Rex MAC-1 MIDI-switcher.
Program changing, Channel switching, Loop-change and real time alterations.
All these possibilities lie in the MIDI-language (serial data communication), which is primarily used in the music
industry.

Frontpanel features

F1) PRESETS: When turned on, the BIG FOOT automatically starts up on program
number 1.
BIG FOOT has 12 banks with 10 presets in every bank, thus providing
you with 120 program-presets

F2) BANK UP/BANK DOWN: These switches allow for the selection of the preset banks 1 thru 12

F3) CHANGE: This switch provides the possibility of direct access to each individual

loop of the MAC-1 MIDI TO ANALOGUE CONTROLLER for easy
real-time on/off-switching.
This feature only works in co-operation with the MAC-1.
The “Bank up” and “Bank down” function let’s you scroll up and down
through your presets while in CHANGE mode.

F4) DISPLAY: The display has 16 characters and shows preset number/name
(see naming presets)

F5) CTL1-CTL-6: Most new effects-devices allow for turning off/on effects blocks using a
control-change command. BIG FOOT can be programmed to control
these parameters.

F6) PROGRAMMING
KEYBOARD: The keyboard has 5 switches: UP, DOWN, <, > and MENU.
