One Control / CAIMANTAILLOOP

This programmable switcher has a compact body, supports MIDI, and allows you to control a large number of effects. Its three-layer structure of six lanes, five banks, and five programs per bank allows you to store 150 types of programs. It also has a built-in input buffer, a mute switch, a tuner out, and six DC outs, making it suitable for a wide range of uses.

■Banks and lanes
Caiman Tail Loop has 5 banks for each of the 6 lanes A to F, and each bank can store 5 programs.
Banks and lanes can be easily switched with a single BANK foot switch. Pressing the BANK foot switch increases the bank number by one. If the selected bank is 5, it will return to bank 1.
You can change lanes by pressing and holding the BANK foot switch. This structure allows you to easily select 150 types of presets in a compact body.
■Program and Direct Mode
The Caiman Tail Loop can enter program mode or direct mode by quickly pressing the BANK switch twice.
You can switch between program mode and direct mode with the PROGRAM/DIRECT switch.
In program mode, the effect loop in the selected program is switched ON/OFF with the foot switch and saved.
In direct mode, you can use each effect loop by turning it ON/OFF individually with the PGM1 to PGM5 foot switches, regardless of the current program.
■Latch/Unlatch Switch
You can send latch switch or unlatch switch signals individually from the FS1 and FS2 terminals installed separately from the five effect loops. You can also connect a stereo cable to the FS2 terminal to send two latch switches with a single cable.
This allows you to switch amplifier channels and remotely control effects by selecting a program. Also, if the switch is set to unlatch, a signal is sent every time you press the selected preset switch, so it can also be used as a tap tempo switch.
■MIDI
Caiman Tail Loop can preset five MIDI program change numbers (PC) and five MIDI control change numbers (CC) in each preset program. Each will be a signal on MIDI channel 1 to 5.
By switching between presets such as multi-function spatial pedals along with ON/OFF control of the switcher, you can smoothly switch between a wide range of sounds.
It can also control pedals that are not installed in the effect loop of the main unit, so for example, you can control a spatial pedal installed in the effect loop of an amplifier with MIDI, and control the effects before the amplifier by turning each effect loop ON/OFF.

You can also control Caiman Tail Loop from an external device using the MIDI IN terminal. You can connect and link two Caiman Tail Loops, control them simultaneously with other devices, or place Caiman Tail Loop in a rack case and control it with MIDI.
