Message Scrolling & Preset Names (Reset?)

Hi everyone.

This is my first post in the forum, so apologies if I’ve missed an important step!

I’m trying to program a preset on my MC6 Pro that will allow me to scroll through messages and display different Preset Names (Short names? Toggle names) as I do.

I am using the MC6 Pro to control loops on my Ml10X. The presets are Short Named as follows:

  • Pedal 1
  • Pedal 2
  • Pedal 3
  • Pedals 1 & 2
  • Pedals 1 & 3
  • Pedals 2 & 3

Currently they are all programmed to “Set” the loops they correspond to. They are all in the same reset group, and function perfectly as such.

What I want to do, is take the final Preset “Pedals 2 & 3” and scroll through Messages that will allow me to cycle between two different Named Presets with Set Loops as “Pedals 2 & 3” and “Pedals 1, 2 & 3” using the following sequence:

  • First Press Toggles Preset “Loops 2 & 3” (Press to Set Loops, Change Background to Toggled Colour)
  • Second Press Scroll to next Message (Press to Set Loops, Release to Rename “Loops 1 2 3”)
  • Third press cycles back to First Press/ Toggled Preset “Loops 2 & 3”
  • Engaging another preset switch within the same Reset group resets Preset “Loops 2 & 3” back to Short Name.

When I try this, the Preset jumps straight to “Pedals 1 2 & 3” and when pressed again, Toggles the Preset off (short name) without cycling. When I reset the preset by engaging another one, it resets Short Named to the opposite of it’s last message (Loops 2 & 3 resets Short to Loops 1, 2 & 3, vice versa).

Through reading the manual I would have thought that adding a Press > Preset Rename Message would do that, and then allow me to scroll back to “Loops 1 & 2” by pressing it again. I’ve also tried adding first engagement commands, release commands to change preset background colours etc, but I can’t get it to cycle between Set Loops 2 & 3, Set Loops 1, 2 & 3, and then reset back to Short Name.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
would you share a screenshot of your preset?

Here’s where I am currently at: I moved it out of Toggle mode and instead tried scrolling through groups of 4 messages at a time as follows:

Set Toggle (to de-toggle other presets in Toggle Mode)
Preset Rename
Set Preset Background Colour
Set Loops

This seems to be working however I still cannot get Preset D to dis-engage with a message from the other Presets to reset it back to Position 1.

Is there a better way to do this in Toggle Mode so that it goes between Position 1/2/Shift with single presses and keep it part of a Reset Group?

This seems to be working however I still cannot get my Dis-Engage Preset message from the other preset buttons to send that Preset back to Position 1.

Here is the reset message programmed into Preset E

Currently ‘toggle reset groups’ don’t act upon ‘shift’. But it might be feasable if you add an ‘unshift’ message to position 1 of all presets.

This would look like this for example:

Preset A, toggle mode off

MSG 1: Press/set toggle (unshift B,C)/pos 1
MSG 2: Press/set loop/pos1
MSG 3: Press/set loop/pos2
MSG 4: Press/set toggle (shift A)/pos2
MSG 5: Press/set loop/pos shift
MSG 6: Press/set toggle (dis-engage A)/pos shift
MSG 7: Release/toggle preset/pos both

You’d need to change the ‘long press’ messages to reset this preset remotely.

The message needed would be:

Long press/manage message scroll (reset)/pos both

I think a message with:

Long press/rename preset
and
Long press/set color

would be needed to reset the color and the name. But a single dis-engage might work, too
