I’m brand new to all this, just got an ML10X and a used MC8. I’ve got the MC8 switches toggling different loops on my ML10X. But how do I get the MC8 to know whether each loop is on or off, so I can reflect that somehow on the display? Thanks.
My approach to this has been to have a dedicated bank where each preset represents a single loop. Each preset is set to toggle, with its own specific toggle group, and has a press action to turn the loop on and toggle on and release action to turn the loop off and toggle off.
How this works:
- Each loop has it’s own toggle group, so you can use those toggle groups elsewhere to always represent the “true” state of the loop
- To turn the loops on and off (such as for specific song presets), you don’t do it manually, but just send a press command to the bank you created earlier (which turns loop and and toggles that toggle group). Similarly, you’d use a release command to turn it off. I suppose alternatively, you could send the command directly to the ML10X, and then separately adjust the toggle group’s state to keep everything aligned.
Others may have alternative approaches, but I’ve found this works really well for my use case.
