Backing tracks and automation
Showcase runs your tracks and changes your sounds on cue. No other guitar modeller does this.

Hold FS1 and FS7 to get song and marker navigation onto your footswitches. Without that, Showcase is a screen feature rather than a performance one.
The pieces
A song is audio tracks plus everything that should happen while they play. Markers are named points you can jump to. Flags are events that fire at a set time — a preset change, a snapshot change, anything Command Center can send.
Tracks live on the microSD card, which ships fitted under the security panel on the rear. If Song View is empty, look there first.
Getting it onto your feet
Holding FS1 and FS7 together cycles what the left-hand column does: bank, preset, snapshot, song, or marker up and down. Holding MODE reveals the full set of footswitch modes, including Transport.
Neither gesture is printed on the chassis, and together they are the difference between playback and performance.
Do the first one at a table
Automating a song is quick once you know the interface and slow the first time. Build it at home with the track playing, not at soundcheck with a room waiting.
