Hi. I’m a new MC6 Pro and ML10X user, and I’m wondering if there’s a creative way to command a color change that follows the ML10X toggle action (in my case, a press). My preset toggle position 2 is already being used for toggling a different loop (using double press), so I can’t simply set my ML10X loop states to the different positions and take advantage of the different position colors. I’ve dabbled with the color change command under “Utility” type, but that seems to just be just a one-way color change that doesn’t toggle back to the original color when the ML10X loop toggles back. Any help would be appreciated!
Yeah, if you use the color change function in Utility, you’d have to manually set each case. Can you tell me everything that Preset is currently doing (and what you want it to do ideally) so I can see if there’s any room to hack in what you want?
Hi Jason, thanks for the quick reply! In short, I’ve set up Preset A for two toggles (switching an EP Booster on and off and switching my amp’s built-in boost on and off), via press and double tap, respectively. For my amp’s boost (the double tap), I’m using Preset Toggle, so I’m taking advantage of the different positions’ colors to signal that toggle, but for the EP (press), I’m using the ML10X toggle action, and I’m hoping to enable some sort of signifier of that toggle…a color change (preset color or background color) or even a name change…anything really. I’ve tried implementing Shift states, but it got too unwieldy. Here are screengrabs of the current preset commands. Looks like I can only post one image at a time, so here’s 1 of 3:
Try this! If it’s just that assigned to Press, turn on Message Scroll (“Message Scroll On”), get rid of the Press, and add these:
The Double Tap will be left alone, but now the EP is controlled by a Message Scroll that alternates between two sets of two messages. The first two turn on the Loop and renames the preset to an appropriate “on” title, and vice versa for the second two.
Thanks so much Jason, this looks like just what I was hoping for! I’ll give it a try.
