Enable Multiple Toggle Groups with *one* Preset

Toggle Groups and Toggle Reset Groups are an incredible feature that I now use for all of my MIDI capable pedals via the Morningstar MC6 Pro. I have separate banks configured to control the specific presets activated on each of my MIDI capable pedals utilizing Toggle Reset Groups, and I also use the Toggle Groups to track whether a pedal is ON/OFF across all my banks.

Now one thing I’m working towards is also have banks configured to set the presets of multiple pedal’s at once for songs or specific sections of songs. So in theory, I’d have one preset on my MC6 Pro turn on and send PC messages to multiple pedals. This works as expected… however, I cannot seem to find a way to set the status of multiple Toggle Groups or Toggle Reset Groups…

Perhaps there is something that I’m missing, but I’d like to be able to go into a bank to select a preset for a song and then when I got back to my banks to configure specific pedals, the Toggle Groups associated with the ON/OFF status of the pedal is updated along with the Toggle Reset Groups associated with the activated preset. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Perhaps it’s already possible and I’m missing something, but if not this would be a great feature to help make the MC6 Pro fully-fledged out when managing the current status of the entire pedalboard.

Hi,
instead of programming pc or cc messages you could use the ‘engage preset’ message type to target presets for individual pedals. This will toggle the targeted preset but I’m not 100% sure if toggle groups will work.

Yes this is a potential partial solution and something I tried, but the problem with this is that it doesn’t set the state of the preset you’re engaging. So if the pedals is currently ON and then you click on the song preset, it may turn the pedal OFF when you press it.

True,
I know @james is working on something that might be the solution to this problem. The conditional message type we’ve discussed elswhere would come in handy :wink:
