Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone has managed to find a way to get rid of the latency whilst changing between scenes with a midi switcher? (Boss Es-8). I understand that you can use it with stomp box mode without latency, but surely you should be able to change between scenes without any latency!? Cheers Andy
Hmm… I don’t get any gap between scenes using midi. Presets yes there is a gap to load the preset but for scenes there is not. Make sure each switch for the scenes you’re not also sending a PC message for the preset number, just send the CC message for the switch to the proper scene.
If you do a preset per song, I send a PC message for the preset (small gap for loading preset) that calls up the first sound for that song ie. intro riff. Then switch to verse, chorus, bridge, solo (no gap for these) make sure no pc message on those buttons, just the CC to switch scenes.
But if you want to go back to the intro riff sound (that reloads the preset) there is a gap so sometimes I will duplicate that sound to a second scene to be able to switch back to it without a gap
There are also some amp models where swichting the amp channel will cause a gap. In this case you need to duplicate the amp block and use one for each scene.
Ah yes that’s exactly it, thanks. I did try this before but stupidly turned of the channel number as well as the PC. Thanks again for the help!
