Hi there! I wish that, when using an external midi pedal to control quad footswitch it should be programmable the on/ off state.
Ex:
Now is - CC# 35 Value 0-127 Enable/bypass Footswitch A
Should be - CC# 35 Value 0-63 Bypass, Value 63-127 Enable
Best Regards, Jorge
I know that! But i´m using a midi controller to keep quad cortex safe and away from front stage. The issue i´m having is replicating hybrid mode.
Yep. Gotta go with Fractal if you want the most fully-featured MIDI in the biz. This was the main reason I sent it back when I got it on release. I own it again now, but I also don’t need as robust of MIDI functionality anymore.
i have lots of midi gear and usually on/off state is programable like 0-63 off and 63-127 on…
what´s your midi floarboard?
how do you program it to use it on hybrid mode? scenes plus stompbox.
but the lights of the switches don´t mirror the state of the quad correctly, yes?
Done that! Bought UNO chip for fcb 1010 years ago. Could always program everything like i wanted… not with quad cortex!
That´s why to behave correctly was usefull to be able to receive on/off state…
I wan´t to mirror the hybrid mode on the fcb1010. Same behaviour, lights, everything.
Doesn´t work properly… if you press two times the same scene switch it reverses all the stompboxs state. Because the #cc on the quad reacts to any value between 0 and 127 and not a preditermined value or interval of values( like on scene selection)
In stompbox or scene works fine but not in hybryd…
Thanks for your help!
Yeah the midi needs to be improved on the QC for sure. It’s crazy how limited they’ve kept it, even though they’re such a brand that seems to pride itself on being super modern.
Also you aren’t going to get a midi floor unit to perfectly sync its lights for on/bypass perfectly unless it has a proprietary cable. I learned that in a thread recently since the midi communication doesn’t function fully the way you’d think. Fractal and Helix have proprietary cable connections for their midi foot switches that sync with their units.
It’s not possible to mirror everything on this floorboard unit. The lights will not perfectly sync just because of midi.
I’m just being transparent with the poster. I myself would also love if the lights, etc could sync to a floorboard for the QC. But unfortunately it isn’t possible.
It’s good your floor unit can work for you. Just unfortunate Neural doesn’t make the programming and midi any easier for people
The MIDI to the footswitches is basically just pressing them digitally; as of now, you can’t send a CC that deliberately turns it on or off; just one that taps it, so if it’s off, it’ll turn on and vice versa. This makes it difficult to set up “scenes” with the FCB. Your best bet is to just use scenes internally on the QC.
I have the FCB1010 as well (bought but never installed the UNO chip). The way I had it set up on my Axe FX III was scene toggles on switches 6-9, stomp toggles on switches 1-4, tap tempo on #5, and tuner on #10.
Just trying to clarify for the poster because they had a specific question that was being ignored. “It works for me” or “you’re doing it properly” isn’t helpful to them.
I too would love to being able to send seperaten on and off commands for the comp mode switches. That would make midi automation way easier.
I find the midi implementation really frustrating, I raised this over a year ago, so don’t hold your breath. I agree that using a cc and value to enable or bypass would be much better. It’s how it is on the Kemper and most other midi gear I have, eg Morningstar switcher. My requirement is for following automation. In stomp mode if I stopped a song part way through all the states would then be inverted. So annoying. I had to use scene mode to get round it, but that has a lot less viable permutations than having a reliable on off for each stomp. Ive ended up using real pedals and a Morningstar switcher and bluetooth airsteps, the quad just doing amps, cabs and reverb.
That is exactly my problem.
Even line 6 Pod og works that way.
