Most pedals on my board dont have a screen.
So when saving or re-saving new or edited patches - i need to scroll to the patch number required, on the individual pedal - without sending a MIDI message, and then [SEND] a PC number to save the patch. In that location.
Using the new “SHIFT” and “UNSIFT” states I have managed to use a two switch solution for doing this task. it used to use three.
If you’re using MC3/MC6 controller, this can save a lot of MC screen real estate.
METHOD:
I used the ‘Long Press scroll’ action on two switches, to SCROLL the chosen Counter, and increase only / decrease only the Scroll Counter Value.
(And also used the RELEASE action to STEP UP/DOWN through the Counter as well)
Normally I would then use a “SEND ONlLY” action (the third switch) to then SEND the current Scroll Counter value in a PC message to save/engage the new Patch.
For the two switch solution, I used a Double Click on the “Increase Only” Switch to toggle the preset into the SHIFT MODE.
The next press in the “SHIFT” mode SENT the value.
To make sure there was an elegant exit from the SHIFT mode - E.G. if I decided to exit without sending the PC message value, i used another Double Click action in SHIFT mode, to “UNSHIFT” and cancel the send message action.
Very useful.
I will post screenshots of the editor presets another time
