Set Toggle Across Banks

[jduv2683]

I’m pretty sure a feature request exists for this but I’ve looked for work arounds and none seem to fit my use case. What I’m trying to achieve:

I have a bank with an “on enter run once” set of messages. This is my “pedalboard” bank, and I’d like to set my default preset for my pedalboard and the default amplifier selected in my rack. I have those messages configured as below. Note that testing this is easier with “on enter bank” as you see below, the final implementation should only run once. That’s why the screenshot is different.

That works great. It does the proper selection when the device boots. The problem I have is with the UI on my “amplifiers” bank. When I page to that bank the ZWreck preset isn’t selected. I have tried various ways of attempting to set the toggle on it and I can’t seem to get it to stick. Note that there are 7 amplifiers, each of which can only be on at one time, so I have all the buttons in a toggle reset group.

Desired result: When the bank boots, it picks the default amp and that switch is “toggled” to the on position from a UX perspective. It functionally works fine and runs the messages as you’d expect. Things I have tried:

Toggle mode on, toggle reset group set, single message.

Toggle mode off, toggle reset group set, set toggle message.

In all cases, when I page to the “pedalboard” bank the message runs as expected, but the switch isn’t in a “toggled” state despite “set toggle” running:

So, the work arounds that I have read about don’t seem to be working for me. What might I be missing?

Make sure that the switch you want to toggle will actually toggle when you press it. A couple tips:

• Note that Toggle Mode = ON only works if you have actual actions defined for pos:1 and pos:2.
• In general, Toggle Mode = ON is most useful for simple applications. If you’re doing remote scripting like this, turn it OFF and manually program with a “Toggle Preset” action or a couple “Set Toggle” actions.

Feel free to upload a backup here and I can test. I was able to confirm that you can do a cross-bank toggle on my MC6 Pro, but it’s best if I can see exactly what you’re doing.

I got it to work!

Not sure why this didn’t work earlier, it’s possible I just didn’t have it programmed correctly. This thing is so powerful it’s easy to make mistakes.
