New mode : Page Mode : Control everything

[iNX]

As sugested by @nico2440443 , move my thread here :

So much power and kind of limitation to control everything. What I imagine is a new mode : Page mode.
In brief, you’re in one preset, and button up and down switch to different page in your preset, which are different layout to control all the blocks. So you can access to 8 button control that can be indistincly stomp or scene in a single page, then switching to an other page with the up/down button. In a big preset you can have easily 4 different page to control all the blocks.
Page 1 : different basic scene
Page 2 : Stomp mode for your favorite block
Page 3 : Stomp mode for unusual block
Page 4 : …
…

Or just in a big preset with all row occupied by 8 blocks, 4 page of 8 buttons are just needed to control all the blocks.

In this mode your QC become an infinie pedalboard you can customise to your taste

And with @nico2440443 better explaination :

@nico2440443

Not sure if I understand exactly what you mean.

I understand you basically have two suggestions:

• Paging in presets. So you would have more switches per preset available than the current 8 ones

• A hybrid mode between Scene and Stomp mode where the user can assign Scene or Stomp actions to each individual switch

Is that what what you propose or did I misunderstand you?

In fact, a button can be one of these :

• a Scene
• Swith like stomp mode (active-deactive one or multible block)
• Midi message only

So you can map your pedalboard as you want, and have multiple page (with up and down button) to access all this kind of control for your preset.
With just one preset you can have everything you need

IMHO In principle this idea can be great. Might save me the need for a separate midi controller.
I think it can be useful to promote this idea to find a concrete implementation idea.
What do you think about mapping the up/down switches as follows?

• Short press = page switch
• Long press = preset switch

That seems like a simple and logical solution

This thread is quite old. Here are some similar (if not identical) requests with more recent discussions:

Footswitch functions to the next level! List of important upgrades

I made a list of most crucial footswitch function updates that the Quad Cortex needs. Please give this your vote if you agree and also share your ideas if you have further ones. Since hybrid mode for presets/scenes/stomps is already confirmed I have not listed it. Assign any parameter changes to any footswitch in stomp mode Add push and hold -function to stomp and scene modes. In stomp mode: Ability to assign everything to press-and-hold that one can assign to regular press-function. In scene …

Assignable footswitches

Let the user use an external tap tempo via midi or exp, and make it possible to use the tap tempo and bank down footswitches (all 10 footswitches or 11 including back up switch) to do whatever the user wants it to do. (Block bypass, scence, etc) Similar to Command Center in Helix. This could be sorted out with hybrid mode but being able to use at least the tap tempo switch to work as a simple block bypass would be nice, since it’s not possible to do by CC message yet.

Scene secondary state

I would love to see a secondary scene state for each scene within a preset. If you were on a scene, press that same scene foot switch and change whatever parameters you want for a “secondary state”. Press again to return to original scene state. You could potentially change the color of the LED to another color signaling the “secondary state”.

Scene/Stomp Hybrid Mode with Stomp Mode

I would love to see the option to have mode 1 be hybrid with scenes on top, stomps on bottom (no problem with 2.0, thanks NDSP!) and have mode 2 be stomp mode with 8 more stomps (not the same bottom 4 as the hybrid mode setup on mode 1). This would really allow extreme flexibility within 1 preset in order to avoid drops in signal and be able to use the full DSP live and spontaneously.
