I just recently picked up the quad cortex, I have previously been able to use my fcb1010 to control NDSP plugins but am finding no luck in setting it up with the quad cortex. I was hoping someone would be able to help me along with this and really spell it out for me because I have no clue what any of the midi data is or what it does I simple followed a video that told put this number here and this number there and it worked. Basically all I’m trying to do it go back and forth between 4-5 presets and use the expression pedals with each preset wether it’s a wah or any other effect and that’s basically it. I’m surprised there isent a streamlined way to just plug and go especially for a unit that costs as much as it does. Have to jump through hoops just to get a pedal working with it. If there is a template I can copy of someone’s editor that they have working for them that would make things so much easier. But I also don’t know how to configure the cortex for it either. Every video I see never makes any sense and I litteraly need a step by step explanation of the process because I don’t get how this midi shit works
It is extremely easy and QC is pretty much plug and play with regards to setting up MIDI. I would suggest reaching out to a forum for that MIDI controller. I used to use the same controller a few years ago and got rid of it due to the fact that it didn’t play well with a lot of equipment without having special ROM chips to make it easy to program.
Also if you search FCB1010 you will find multiple threads where people are setting up for different things.
Midi is so dependent on each various controller, and what you’re trying to do. There’s so many possibilities, which is amazing and allows everyone to adjust to their own setup. Just requires the research early on when setting it up. It’s all very achievable, just may seem daunting at first if you aren’t familiar with it. Midi with any device + controller will be just as frustrating with any brand when tweaking the controller to your own needs
