I have my MC6 linked to my zoia - and I want to be able to press two buttons at once on the MC6 and the ZOIA do two different things.
I have both buttons working if I press them indivually. but if I press them both at once, or press one when the other is already pressed nothing happens (only the action of the first button - the second button being pressed dosn’t add on top - if that makes sense.)
I’m building a patch where you press one button and the octave above signal kicks in.
Another button introduces an octave below.
and if you press the two buttons at once I want an octave above and an octave below at once (the bit I can’t do).
Hi. You can’t press two buttons at once to trigger presets. But you could do this with different actions on the same button, or using toggle or shift. Suggest the Morningstar YouTube channel - some ace tutorials on there!
I’m not sure the device can send messages at EXACTLY the same time, but this sounds like a great opportunity to utilize some of the different actions. For example, you could have a single Release be Oct down, Long Press Release for Oct Up, and Double Tap Release for both!
When you short press you get octave up.
When you press again you bypass the Zoia.
When you Long Press you get both octave up and down.
When you press again you bypass the Zoia.
And obvs on a different Preset, just replace Msg 1 with octave down command, and then you have one pedal for up, one for down, and long pressing both of them gives you octave up AND down.
