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 contro…

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…

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

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 …

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 why can’t we post fewer than 15 characters!

Yeah this would be great. I’m on the brink of buying a QC and getting a Morningstar MC3 along with it just for this. It would be great to keep the QC in Stomp Mode and using a MIDI controller to switch presets during a gig.
