Product Overview Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of The Wag. WAG stands for Wireless Audio Gesture. The WAG is a wireless remote controller, in the form of a finger ring, which extends your control over musical effects units that have expression pedal or MIDI inputs. The complete system is comprised of the WAG Ring, Base Unit, and Ring Charger. The WAG was specifically designed with guitarists in mind, to put effects control into their hands where they could integrate it into their playing technique while freeing them from dancing on pedals. We have found that this allows the guitarist to use effects in a much more intuitive and spontaneous manner opening up new vistas of creativity. The WAG may provide many of the same benefits to other musicians that use effects. You control your effects through simple hand movements without the need to take your hand away from the strings - allowing you to integrate effects control into your performance. For example, by opening and closing your hand slightly, you can use the Ring like an expression pedal to modulate volume, WAH, or other effect parameters. You can also use the WAG to turn effects off and on using the MIDI interface. Generally, the WAG Ring continuously senses the opening and closing of the hand. More specifically, the WAG Ring has a proximity sensor that detects changes in the space around the ring band. So, the more CLOSED the hand position, the more flesh surrounds the sensor plate and the greater the value generated by the sensor. The Wag Ring sends the sensor data to the Base Unit. The Base Unit converts the sensor data to effects control signals that are sent over the MIDI and Pedal Output interfaces. The Base Unit settings allow you to configure the sensitivity, direction of control, zone of control, damping, and other parameters allowing you to customize the WAG in virtually any manner that you chose to satisfy your creativity while adapting it to your playing style. The WAG Ring is powered by an internal, rechargeable, lithium ion battery. A stand alone charger is provided to charge the Ring battery. The system operates in the 2,4 GHZ radio band. The system operates over a 40 foot distance. Four radio channels are provides so that 4 systems can operate in the same space. page 4 User's Manual Product Tour A WAG system consists of the following units:
Wag Ring. Continuously senses the movements of your finger, and wirelessly sends that information to the Base Unit. The ring band is adjustable. The ring is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion button cell battery. Wag Base Unit. Interprets information received from the WAG Ring and converts that information into control signals that control your effects using the Expression Pedal Output and/or Midi Output. Wag Charger Charges the Wag Ring battery. The Diagrams and Tables on the following pages describe the basic components of the system. Wag Ring Table 1. Components of the Ring

Description Item 1 Rear Panel Here is where you connect your effects gear and the receive antenna. 2 3 4 Antenna MIDI OUT EXP OUT Receives the wireless transmission from the Ring. Connect this port to effects units that accept MIDI input for effects control. Connect a 1/4" stereo (Tip, Ring, Sleeve (TRS) or Mono (TS) cable to effects units that accept an expression pedal input. See compatibility table. 5 PWR AC power adapter connection. Use only the power supply shipped with the product. Wag Charger With the charger lid open, the ring is inserted straight down from overhead with the ring lid facing toward the front of the charger. A blue led will illuminate the ring lid if installed properly and charging is in progress. A green led will light at the front of the charger behind the charger lid snap. page 7 User's Manual Quick Start Tutorials We strongly recommend that you read and understand this entire manual to get the most out of the WAG. However, the short tutorials in this section may get you going more quickly if your effects gear matches one of the Presets we have configured for popular gear. Tutorial 1 General Flow Instruction Charge the Ring. Comments a. Connect the AC adapter cord into the PWR jack of Charger, and plug the transformer into a 110 VAC power outlet. b. Insert the ring into the charger and close the lid. A blue led will illuminate the ring when the ring is installed properly and the ring is charging. When the Green Led at the front of the charger illuminates, the ring is fully charged and ready for use. Slip the Ring on the finger of your choice (Typically, the 3rd finger of your pick hand), adjust the band, and wait for the ring to wake up (20 seconds max). The ring goes to sleep with non use to save the battery. In PATCH view, the cursor bar graph will move with hand opening/closing. In RADIO CHAN view the word SIGNAL will display if the Ring is transmitting. Connect an effect pedal that you want to control with the WAG to the rear of the Base Unit. Examples:
Connect PEDAL OUT to a compatible effects units Expression Pedal Input. Connect MIDI OUT to a compatible effect units Midi Input jack. Use the VALUE knob to select a preset that provides the desired type of control. See the Patch Reference Appendix C START WAGGIN'!
1 2 3 4 5 page 8 User's Manual Modulating Effects using the Expression Pedal Output In this example, you will use the WAG's expression pedal output (PEDAL OUT) to modulate an effect. Examples of this are pedal position of a WAH-WAH effect, volume swells, delay effect level, and Whammy effects. You must use an effect device that accepts a standard 10K TRS/TS expression pedal input. TRS stands for Tip, Ring, Sleeve. Tutorial 2 - Using Expression Pedal Output Instruction Comments Make your normal audio connections between your guitar, effects, and amplifier. Connect the appropriate TRS (stereo) cable or Mono cable (TS) from the EXPR OUT jack to the expression pedal input of your effect unit. Your effect manual should help you figure out which cable to use. For now, dont connect the MIDI cable. With the Menu set to PATCH view, use Value +/- to select Patch 01 (default) which has Pedal Output enabled. Configure you effect unit for expression pedal control This will depend on the capabilities of your effect pedal/unit Be sure that the ring is awake The bar graph cursor should move in PATCH view In RadioCh view the status should read SIGNAL Opening and closing your hand should modulate the selected effect. We recommend moving the last 3 fingers of your hand together rather than moving just the ring finger. Try editing some of the Wag parameters Examples: FWD/REV will change the direction of operation. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Now have fun. Now, strum a chord on your guitar while you open and close your hand; you should hear a change in the sound as you control the effect with the WAG. Squeeze or open your finger/hand with each played note of an arpeggio or slow strum. You should be able to selectively apply effects modulations (e.g., WAH) to full chords or individual notes in a solo. Setting Tips: Turn on Damping to do smooth volume swells. Try different Pedal Zones allow you to select the range of hand motion that suits your playing style. Use FWD/REV to select the direction of the hand motion (akin to toe up versus toe down) you prefer. page 9 User's Manual MIDI Expression Control In this tutorial, you will use the WAG MIDI OUT to control volume. This assumes that you have an effect unit that allows midi control of volume. The standard MIDI CC number for volume control is 007 so we use that here. If you are controlling something that doesnt have volume control, you will need to change the MIDI CC number at the Base Unit to match a CC number in the MIDI table found in your effects unit manuals. We also assume you are using MIDI channel 1. Otherwise, you will need to change this at your effect unit or at the Base Unit so that they match. Our Factory patches have been set up to control some common effects units. See Appendix C. Tips 'N Tricks Midi , while more complex, allows you to use expression control, switch effects on/off, switch effects patches, and combinations of the above over a single cable!
Tutorial 3 - MIDI Expression Control Instruction Comments Make your normal audio connections between your guitar, effects, and amplifier. Connect a MIDI cable from the WAG MIDI OUT jack to the MIDI input of an effects unit that uses MIDI for effects control. For now, dont connect the Pedal Output to anything. With the Menu knob set to PATCH, use the Value knob to select a MIDI Patch 01 (default). See Patch Reference (Appendix C). If your equipment is not listed try using PATCH 02 which uses a standard MIDI CC value (007) for volume control. Depending on your effects gear, you may have to configure your effect unit to receive MIDI and set other options. Please refer to your effect unit manual. MIDI Channel 1 is our default. Be sure that the ring is awake The bar graph cursor should move in PATCH view Now, strum a chord on your guitar then open and close your finger or hand. You should hear a change in the sound as you control the effect using the WAG. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Now have fun. Now, strum a chord on your guitar while you open and close your hand; you should hear a change in the sound as you control the effect with the WAG. Squeeze or open your finger/hand with each played note of an arpeggio or slow strum. You should be able to selectively apply effects modulations (e.g., Volume or WAH) to full chords or individual notes in a solo. page 10 User's Manual Chapter 2. Basic Setup Read this chapter to learn how to do the following:
Turn the WAG Base Unit on and off. Charging the Ring Waking the Ring Pausing/Un-pausing the Ring Making Connections Optimizing Wireless Reception Multiple Wag Systems on the Same Stage Power On/Power Off To turn on the Base Unit, just connect the power supply (Wall Wart) to the rear of the unit, and then plug the power supply into 110 volt AC outlet. When power is applied, the LCD should light up and display PATCH 01. To turn off the Base Unit, simply remove the connection or the power adapter from the wall. Charging the Ring The WAG Ring is powered by a rechargeable battery (lithium ion). To ensure proper operation of the Ring, you should recharge it after long periods of continuous use. The ring enters a low power sleep mode when off of your finger but still may need to be charged after sitting idle for a long period. page 11 User's Manual To recharge the WAG Ring:
Instruction Comments Plug the AC adapter cord into the PWR jack of the Charger Plug the AC adapter into a 110 v power outlet. Insert the ring into the charger as shown above and close the lid. The ring must be positioned in the charger as shown. The ring will be illuminated by a blue LED if installed properly and charging. A green LED will light up at the front of the Charger when the ring is fully charged and ready for use. 1 Tips 'N Tricks A short recharge of about 15 minutes can extend the use considerably. Waking the Ring The ring goes to sleep after about 3 minutes of non use. This will not likely happen while the ring is mounted on your finger. The longest wake up period should be about 20 seconds after putting the ring back on your finger. Closing your hand partially may help insure that the ring wakes up. Pausing/Un-pausing the Ring If you want to temporarily discontinue using the Wag Ring you can pause the ring communications with the Base Unit by touching the sensor area on top of the ring lid. The lid will light up briefly to acknowledge the request. To un-pause the ring, touch the ring lid a second time. When the ring is operating (not paused), the LEDs under the lid will flicker each time you close your hand. When paused, the LEDs will flicker at a fixed periodic rate. Making Connections As shown in the following figure, the WAG Base Unit currently provides 2 interfaces to external devices, via the rear panel. These are MIDI OUT and Pedal Out. The Pedal Out simulates a standard 10K Expression Pedal (potentiometer). The MIDI Out sends MIDI CC and MIDI Program Change messages. page 12 User's Manual MIDI CC messages typically can modify effects parameters such as volume, reverb level, delay amount, wah wah pedal position, etc. MIDI CC can also frequently be used to turn effects on and off. MIDI Program Change messages are used to switch patches (AKA User Presets) on an effect unit. TIP: We find that switching patches introduces more delay than using CC messages to switch individual effects off and on. This depends on the effect unit design. If you are just switching patches between sections of a song it likely doesnt matter. If you are switching on a note by note basis or for some toggling effect the delay may be noticeable. The following table summarizes each port and its available interfaces. Name Interface Description MIDI OUT 5-pin DIN Transports MIDI messages over industry standard 5-pin MIDI DIN port. Pedal Out Jack 1/4"
Stereo jack Simulates 10k TRS Expression Pedals. Can connect with a MONO TS cable if the effect unit only uses TS of Expression Pedal. The wiper of the potentiometer is on the Tip lead of the jack. Dont connect to effect units that put more than 3.5 volts on the TRS cable. See our list of compatible effects units. IMPORTANT: To avoid potential damage to your gear, refer to the technical manuals for the effects gear that you want to connect directly to the Base Unit. See our list of compatible effects units. For those unfamiliar with TRS cables, refer to the following illustrations:
As described above, the Pedal Output jack fits a 1/4" phone plug that terminates either a Tip-
Ring-Sleeve (TRS) cable or mono (TS)cable. To use the WAG effectively, it's important to understand the structure of the jacks, cables, and devices that you connected to them. page 13 SleeveTIPRINGTRS cableSleeveTIPMono cable User's Manual Wireless Reception To ensure the best possible reception of the wireless signal from the WAG Ring, follow these guidelines. Antenna The Base Unit has one swiveling antenna located at the rear corner of the base unit. Do not operate the unit without the antenna connected. The antenna should be installed in a vertical orientation. For FCC compliance, you must use only the antenna supplied with the unit. Base Unit Position the Base Unit following these guidelines for best reception. To the extent possible, try to place the Base Unit near and to the side of the performer, without sacrificing mobility or stage presence. Maintain a clear line of sight between the performer and the Base Unit especially avoiding obstructing the view with electronic devices, large metal structures, or walls. Multiple Wag Systems on the Same Stage The Wag Ring and Base Unit have 4 radio channels so that up to 4 systems could be co-located without interfering with each other. From the factory, the base unit and ring are both configured on channel 1 and ready to function. If another ring or device is interfering with you, you can change radio channels at the Base Unit and ring. A channel change is initiated from the by holding your finger on the ring lid for 5 seconds while observing the channel selection from the Base Unit Radio Chan display. The ring sends the selected channel over a dedicated channel which the Base Unit monitors when the Radio Chan function is selected. The Base Unit will set its channel to match the Ring channel but only if the Base Unit is in this mode. If you know what channel the ring is on, you can set the Base Unit channel to match it manually using the Value switches on the Base Unit. To change radio channels:
Instruction Put the ring on your finger. Use Menu +/- to access the Radio Chan view Touch the Ring Lid until the LEDs flash in an alternating pattern (approx. 5 seconds) then release your finger. Touch the Ring Lid briefly to change to the next sequential Ring Channel. Each touch thereafter changes the channel again. When done, touch the Ring Lid until you get the alternating LED pattern again.. At the Base Unit, use the Menu +/- switches to move to any other position.
Comments The Current BU Channel will be displayed. The Base Unit will suspend normal operation and listen on a dedicated channel for notifications from the Ring of channel changes. This will put the ring in Channel Change Mode. The ring will stop its normal operation and send channel change notifications on a dedicated channe;
The Base Unit will display the new channel. The ring will return to normal operation The Base Unit will save the new radio channel and return to normal operation. Be careful not to press the Value switches or you will manually change the channel and cause a mismatch between the Base Unit and Ring. page 14 User's Manual Chapter 3. Using the Ring Read this chapter to learn how to do the following:
Wearing the Ring Using the Wag as an Expression Pedal Limiting the Expression Zone Using the Wag to Switch Effects Combining Expression Pedal Control with Effects Switching Wearing the Ring There are no rules to wearing and using the Ring, but we give you some guidelines here. Guitarists typically wear the Ring on their strumming hand, most often on the 3nd finger (ring finger). The Ring is adjustable. It should be adjusted for a comfortably snug fit. The finger selection may be dependent on the size of your hand as the ring has a limited range of adjustment. You basically control your effects by opening and closing your hand or just the finger wearing the ring. In fact, just spreading your fingers apart laterally can be used with the right zone settings. The range of hand motion that is required depends on how you configure the Base Unit settings. But, if you understand that the sensor is in the ring band and that it detects the amount of skin surrounding it, you may think new ways to use it in your performance. Using the Wag as an Expression Pedal You can use the Pedal Output or Midi CC messages to simulate an expression pedal. A conventional expression pedal provides a range of motion between two primary positions: toe-up and toe-down. Using the WAG Ring, you have a corresponding range of motion: the opening and closing of your hand. The direction of operation is settable as is the range of motion required. The diagrams below demonstrate using full range of motion. page 15 Toe-UpToe-downRange of motion Fully closed positionRelaxed, somewhat Closed PositionMostly open positionFully openposition User's Manual Limiting the Expression Zone As shown above, we refer to your full range of hand motion. By default, this full range of motion represents a full swing of an Expression Pedal which you could call the Expression Zone. With the Wag system, we have divided the full range into a number of expression zones to give you flexibility in adapting the ring to your playing style. So, the Expression Zone can be equal to the full range, or some smaller range that is biased toward the open or closed position. Here are the selections we provide: 0 100 %, 75 100 %, 50 100 %, 25 75 %, 0 50 %, and 0 25 %. Using the Wag to Switch Effects The WAG can emulate the behavior of different types of footswitches such as stomp box switches, and footswitches on multi-effect units. This is accomplished using Midi CC and Program Change messages. There are two types of switches; momentary and latch. With momentary operation, an effect is switched on only while your hand is closed. As soon as you open your hand, the effect is switched back off. The direction is reversible. This is very useful for rapid note by note switching of effects. The sensitivity setting (Sw Sens) offers a tradeoff between how fast you want to switch (e.g., rapid fire stutter effects) and guarding against accidentally switching your effects. With Latch operation, closing your hand toggles the effect on. Opening your hand part way then closing it again toggles the effect back off. This is useful for slower switching operations such as between rhythm parts and extended solos and where you are more concerned about accidentally switching. This mode lets you switch effects yet relax your hand in between so you can play freely without concern for accidental switching. Combining Expression Pedal control with Effects Switching It is possible to combine expression pedal control with effects switching. For example, you could set up a latch switch to turn your overdrive effect off and on. Then set up an expression control to control your wah-wah pedal position. You might want to set a small zone for the expression control so that you dont accidentally switch your overdrive. So, a full squeeze of the hand switches your overdrive on for a solo while a subtle change in hand position near the open position controls your wah-wah. This sounds complex but in practice its not. The system is designed to give you the flexibility to explore all possibilities. page 16 User's Manual Chapter 4. Configuring the Base Unit The tutorials at the beginning of this manual gave you an idea of what you can do with the WAG. Further, the factory presets provide a great way to jump in and get started using it. However, while the WAG is simple and intuitive to use, there is more to learn, in order to use it to your best advantage. Read this chapter to learn how to do the following:
Select a Patch Edit a Patch Parameter Copy/Save a Patch For the following sections, refer to this figure of the front panel of the WAG Base Unit. Load a Preset/Patch For your convenience, the WAG Base Unit provides 20 patches for you to save your configurations. The patches have been configured at the factory for a number of popular effects units to help you get started. If you edit the patches and save them you will lose these settings. See instructions below for restoring the Factory Patch settings. If you have changed any of the current patch settings and not saved the patch they will be lost when you switch patches. Loading a Patch:

If you press any other switch combination you will exit the SAVE mode. Restoring the Factory Patch Settings:
Instruction Power down the Base Unit Comments Hold down MENU and VALUE + at the same time while powering up the base unit The Factory patches will be restored page 18 1 2 User's Manual Chapter 5. Preset/Patch Parameter Descriptions This section describes the individual Preset/Patch parameters in detail. Understanding these parameters should help you to customize the Wag to your style of playing and to get the full creative value out of the WAG. Appendix A contains a TABLE of Operating Parameters which lists these parameters with their range of values and a brief description. Patch You can save 20 configurations called Patches. Ped Type This stands for Pedal Type and pertains to the Pedal Output which is a simulated Expression Pedal. The pedal types are Off, Normal, and Offset. Off turns the interface off so that you can leave the cable connected when not in use. Normal provides the full range of resistance from the simulated expression pedal. This ranges from approximately 100 ohms to 10,000 ohms (10k ). There is some variance in conventional expression pedal output so effects units are sometimes designed to not start responding until the resistance reaches a couple hundred ohms. This ensures that the effect can reach a value of 0 at toe up. Likewise they are designed to look for something less than 10,000 ohms (maybe 8 K) for a maximum to insure that the effects value can reach its max value. This sometimes means that the expression pedal doesnt respond until it is moved a little ways and stops responding before it hits toe down. Some expression pedals have a trimming potentiometer to allow you to compensate for this. With the Wag we provide several pedal types with offsets built in. Normal is the default and a good place to start. You might find that one of the offset types gives you a better range of motion. Ped Zone, CC1 Zone and CC2 Zone As described in Chapter 4 we provide you with control over the range of hand position that controls your effects. This parameter controls the zone just for the respective output. The values are 0-100, 75-100, 50-100, 25-75, 0-50, and 0-25. These represent a percentage of the full range of hand motion from fully open to fully closed. For example with a setting of 75-100 for Ped Zone, the Pedal Out sweeps from minimum to maximum resistance with a hand movement from 75% open to 100% open. You might use this if you are primarily playing with your picking hand fingers resting on the pick guard in a generally open hand position and choose to use very subtle had gestures to control your effect. Ped Dir This stands for Pedal Direction. It determines whether an open hand represents a toe down or toe up (conventional expression pedal terminology). Midi CC1 and CC2 each have their own independent direction control. MidiChan This sets the Midi Channel number which ranges from 01 16. The default is Chan 01 which should work for most situations. page 19 User's Manual MidiCC1 and MIDI CC2 Use these to select 1 or 2 Midi Continuous Controller Numbers. CC number 007 is generally used for volume control by effects unit. Other than that you need to find the midi table in your effects manual to make the selection. Some units allow you to map any CC number to any effect. If so, consider this because it may allow you to use 1 patch setting at the Wag Base unit with many different effects patches at your effects unit. CC1 Mode and CC2 Mode Each CC has its own independent Zone, Direction, and type of operation set by these mode controls. The valid modes are:
Off disables the Continuous Controller FwdExp - Outputs values 0-127 (full range) in the open to closed direction RevExp - Outputs values 0-127 (full range) in the closed to open direction FwdMomSw - Outputs 127 when the hand is at or passed the closed end of the selected zone. Outputs 0 otherwise RevMomSw - Outputs 127 when the hand is at or passed the open end of the selected zone. Outputs 0 otherwise FwdLatSw Toggles between 0 and 127 each time the hand reaches the open end of the selected zone. RevLatSw Toggles between 0 and 127 each time the hand reaches the closed end of the selected zone. See chapter 4 Using the Wag to Switch Effects for a description of momentary and latch switches. For example, CC1 could be configured to increase overdrive in an open direction and CC2 to increase wah-wah pedal position in a closed direction. Or, CC1 could be used for wah-wah control and CC2 to turn overdrive on/off. Exp Damp Damping slows the rate of change of the effects control. This is useful for creating smooth changes such as horn like volume swells. The valid settings are off, Low, Medium, and High. High is the slowest swell. For example, you can hold your hand closed, strum a chord, then rapidly open your hand and continue playing. The 1st chord will slowly swell up in volume with damping. Without any damping you need to control the rate of the swell manually. Exp Hold This stands for Expression Hold. It holds the maximum effect value until the hand moves to the opposite end of the zone. This allows you to swell an effect to maximum then hold that value while you relax your hand. If you move your hand well toward the opposite end of the zone, the effect value will reset and you can swell it back up again. page 20 User's Manual SW Sens This stands for Switch Sensitivity. For CC switch modes and Program Changes, this controls how sensitive the switching is. With a lower sensitivity you will be less prone to accidental switching but wont be able to toggle effects as rapidly. PrgMode This stands for Program Change Mode. Midi Program Changes are used to switch effects patches on multi-effect units. The valid settings are :
Off Disable Program Change Messages FwdMom Momentary switching of patches in the forward direction. RevMom Momentary switching of patches in the reversed direction. FwdLatch Latch Switching of patches in the forward direction. RevLatch Latch Switching of patches in the reversed direction. See chapter 4 Using the Wag to Switch Effects for a description of momentary and latch switches. ProgChg1 and PrgChg2 These set the Program Change numbers (000 127) which select two effects patches to switch between. Note: Some effects units start counting Patches with 000 and others with 001.

See Chapter 4 Limiting the Expression Zone for further explanation. Sets the direction of hand motion akin to toe up versus toe down for your Pedal Output. Sets the Midi Channel number for the current PATCH Sets the 1st of 2 Continuous Controller Numbers (CC) Sets the Mode of operation for CC1. Exp stands for expression mode versus switch mode. In expression mode we send values 0 127 to provide expression pedal functionality like volume swells. Fwd/Rev sets the direction of hand motion. MomSw stands for Momentary Switch. LatSw stands for Latch Switch. In switch mode we send midi values of 000 or 127 only. Effects units typically turn an effect on with a value greater than 064 (mid range) and off if below 064. See text for further explanation. This determines the range of hand motion that controls your effects using Midi CC1. See text for further explanation. Sets the 2nd of 2 Continuous Controller Numbers (CC) Sets the Mode of operation for CC2. Exp stands for expression mode versus switch mode. In expression mode we send values 0 127 to provide expression pedal functionality like volume swells. Fwd/Rev sets the direction of hand motion. MomSw stands for Momentary Switch. LatSw stands for Latch Switch. In switch mode we send midi values of 000 or 127 only. Effects units typically turn an effect on with a value greater than 064 (mid range) and off if below 064. See text for further explanation. This determines the range of hand motion that controls your effects using Midi CC2. See text for further explanation. Damping slows the rate of change of the effects control. This is useful for creating smooth volume swells. High is the slowest swell. Holds the maximum effect value until the hand moves to the opposite end of the zone. This allows you to swell an effect to maximum then hold that value while you relax your hand. For CC switch modes and Program Changes, this controls how sensitive the switching is. With a lower sensitivity you will be less prone to accidental switching but wont be able to toggle effects in rapid succession. PrgMode pertains to the sending of Midi Program Change messages which are used to change your effects unit patches. Reverse and Forward directions as well as momentary and latch modes are selectable. You can also turn this feature off. If PrgMode is on this specifies the 1st of 2 Program Change numbers which equates to 1 of 2 effects patches. If PrgMode is on this specifies the 2nd of 2 Program Change numbers which equates to 1 of 2 effects patches.
