Hi Guys,
Just bought the MC8 to be the foot pedal to the Rc505 Mk 2 & I’m wondering if anyone has mapped the bottons to the MC8 & how they did it? I know it can do it, I just don’t know how to get them talking, looking forward to some answers!
TIA
Hi,
this might be helpful
Also this
Does this apply to the 505mk2 as well?
A quick look at the parameter guide suggests it does.
Great, so I’m getting the Gist that I have to create 4 messages per track in order to start (press & release) & stop (press & release).
However I don’t really understand. I’m wanting to understand how & or why you would stay on the same cc value if you’re wanting to send a different message. I don’t quite understand the function or mechanism or fundamental structure under gurding all this. Where would I find that information?
What I am wanting to do is Start, overdub, stop/replay loop as well as delete all from the one botton & then multiply that on every track. Any example as to how I would do that?
From reading the above I have to set the assigns via the 505mk2 to a cc number but how do I assign that to a specifc track?
Sorry for the confusion but I’m clearly not understanding how everything connects & it doesn’t appear straight forward to me at all.
Any help would be appreciated 
Boss doesn’t explain their midi implementation very well. I don’t own a 505 but I have a rc 500 which functions similarly.
Watch this to get a general idea how midi works
First thing would be to download the ‘parameter guide’ for the 505 from the Boss website. Refer to the ‘Assigns’ section to see which parameters can be controlled via midi. Pick the ones you’d need, go to the menu of the 505 and programm a cc# to those.
Next step would be to programm the mc’s switches to send those cc# together with a cc value to trigger the assigned parameter.
My advice would be to start small. Pick a single parameter and try to programm it. See how it functions and work from there.
