MIDI controlled up and down switches

Hello, I am a new Quad Cortex user and new in this forum.

Why are the up/down footcontrollers not bound to a MIDI CC# message? I am using the QC in a rack, controlling it with a MIDI footcontroller (Behringer FCB1010).
The up and down switches seem to be the only two switches that cannot be controlled by MIDI messages. Why?
I would very much like to go through banks and presets using MIDI.

Cheers!

You mean the preset/bank up and down switches? You can control those, at least somewhat, you just need to send 2 messages. Look at the bank MSB/LSB messages on page 86 of the 1.2 user manual

Did you mean setting a preset directly by using CC#0, CC#32 and an PC?
That is not the same thing. I want to go up one preset/bank, and go down one. Just like the up/down switches do.
Of the eleven switches, the functionality of those two seem to be the only ones that can not be controlled by midi.

Thanks!

Same here, I use midi controller as well, but there is no CC # to mirror Up and Down.

I need this too!

Has anyone worked out a way of doing this yet?

There is no way to do it “directly” right now, there’s no direct mapping of a MIDI command to a generic “up/down” - the best I have done is using a counter to increment/decrement the direct preset selection but that’s not exactly easy to manage and really only works for a very “rigid” use case for like a show where you KNOW the setlist and just need to progress through it and can use the MIDI controller to do that.

I would like to give this a bump: Why can’t the Tempo and Up/Down switches be assigned to MIDI messages?

Gotta bump this one here, has this has been changed?

Nope
