You can control the Nextone Special from a multi-effect unit or a MIDI foot controller. This requires that the MIDI channels of both units match. Here's how to set the MIDI receive channel of the Nextone Stage:
| MIDI Channel | Operation |
|---|---|
| 1 | Hold down the TONE SETTING [1] button while turning the power on. |
| 2 | Hold down the TONE SETTING [2] button while turning the power on. |
| 3 | Hold down the TONE SETTING [3] button while turning the power on. |
