Add "virtual" (MIDI only) expression pedals

Quad Cortex Feature Requests

I think it would be quite useful to have additional expression pedals (EXP 3/4 for example) defined as MIDI only devices.

This would allow capabilities like:

  • Allow the physical EXP ports to be used purely for additional stomp functionality (until we get direct MIDI block control) while still having expression pedal control available
  • Allow for MIDI waveform generators to be used like an LFO for block params while still allowing EXP1/2 to be used normally/without conflict
  • More overall bypass and parameter manipulation options for blocks
  • And so much more :smiley:

Yes please! I’d love this feature.

When linking a control to an expression pedal, they should just add any unassigned MIDI CC messages for selection. Since two expression pedals are already midi controlable, I imagin that this addition shouldn’t be too difficult.

THIS. I have already dedicated exp 1&2 ports. But using a Morningstar MC6 which has an additional 2 exp ports. Having midi exp 3 & 4 option would be very helpful.

I also voted here.
So I would have the possibility to use wah, whammy and volume pedal in one patch without stepping on a switch to activate/deactivate the individual blocks.

at least 16 “virtual” midi expression tables would be good. Just two extra one is not enough.
Also would be nice to be able to see those parameters then on the screen as they change with a label what each is… then for each preset, these 16 “virtual expression” pedals can be mapped. Each having a fixed / assigned MIDI cc.
That would work great. The two currently is not enough at all!

Was there any update with QC 2.1 on this?

There was not. A few other minor MIDI changes were made. Nothing major and nothing for this feature.

Too bad… Hope we can make some noise for this feature!

Yep I’d love to run a couple more using my Nektar Pacer which has two exp pedal inputs!
