The current post is a duplicate of this request: > [@More MIDI control](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/more-midi-control/7071): > > OK, this really needs to be fixed. The idea of having midi controls assigned ONLY to the switches is ridiculous and frustrating. It keeps this beautiful sounding device completely locked away from expansion. In reality it turns the “Most powerful floor modeler on the planet” into “Just another limited (yet expensive) 8-device/settings” processor. IF you can’t give us on/off (i.e. 0=off, 1 or higher = on) control for each device then assign on/off to the grid numbers and give us the ability to ma… Vote and comment there to make more concentrated impact. Also, you might want to check out the following request, which is to allow midi control over the device’s modes (preset, scene, stomp, hybrids): > [@Enable full MIDI Control of all Control Modes](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/enable-full-midi-control-of-all-control-modes/9855/2): > > This… ALL of this… The unit feels like its cutoff at the knees with the inability to use midi to this extent. I have more midi control and editing flexibility on Boss and Line 6 gear than with the Quad. Yes please! Open up the unit! More midi control access and more QC hardware control! Change LED color. Change Labels of anything anywhere. Etc. Neural team please just go buy a Helix floor and figure out all of the things that it can do and then make the QC able to do those things.
