Press Actions

The Unity6 has 8 unique press actions that can be programmed to each preset. Press actions are useful for expanding the capability of each footswitch so you can maximize the functionality of each preset.

The 8 press actions are as follows:

  • Press - fires a group of messages immediately upon pressing the switch down
  • Release - fires a group of messages upon releasing the switch
  • Long Press - fires a group of messages when the switch is pressed and held down for at least 600 milliseconds (just over a half of a second)
  • Long Press Release - fires a group of messages when releasing the switch after a Long Press has been executed
  • Long Press Scroll - repeatedly fires a group of messages when holding down a switch. Must hold down the switch for 600 milliseconds before the scroll will begin
  • Double Tap - fires a group of messages when a switch is pressed two separate times within a 350 millisecond window
  • Double Tap Long Press - fires a group of messages when a switch is pressed two separate times within a 350 millisecond window. The second tap must be held down for at least 600 milliseconds before the messages will fire
  • Double Tap Long Press Release - fires a group of messages when releasing the switch after a Double Tap Long Press has been executed

Below is a table showing the sequence of actions that will execute upon triggering various Press Actions:
