Show status of what's happen

Hello.

I’d like to make it possible to see the visual of the selected preset.

I have two banks to offer you.

Two possible variations, almost identical. Depending on the difficulty, there may be an advantage to proceeding one way rather than another…

First bank:

Here I select the bank, for example, preset A (drive). I then activate preset F (chorus or phaser) or G (tremolo or Leslie). You can see that the selected preset lights up. This is what I want.

The problem here is that if I select preset B, for example (another drive), the selected F or G effect turns off, and I no longer know which one was selected. I’d like to find a solution so that the previously selected effect always remains lit (background color).

- bonus question: I turn off and on the F or G preset via a “long press” action on the F or G button. I would also like to turn on the strip when the effect is on if possible. Not mandatory. It’s an option.

Second bank:

Here it’s the same as the previous bank, except that when you alternate between the F and G buttons, the effect’s background remains lit. So it’s impossible to tell which one is selected (thankfully, we have good ears ^^).

On the other hand, when you select several different drives (keys A to E), the background doesn’t turn off. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction.

In this scenario, it would be enough to make the strip light up when you long-press it.

But be careful… What I didn’t specify for either scenario 1 or 2…

I don’t think it’s enough to play with positions 1, 2, both, or shift… Because the F and G presets work in scroll mode, which makes things much more complex.

If anyone can help me…

Here is the link for the video to show you exactly what’s happen.

and the 2 concerned banks:

If I understand correctly, your bottom 4 presets also change the state of the top four presets. If you need it to sync up, why not (1) manually set the toggle state of E-H to match what they need to be; and (2) use “Trigger Messages” on those presets so that they send the right PCs and also rename themselves properly?

On wich bank id it the simpliest to do that?

I have 2 scenarios in the video.

Do you mean trigger messages on preset A to E to tell that preset F or G to remain active?

The thing is, i do’n know what to programm. Everything i try gives me other problems . And the preset A to E are still complicated. It’s guitar wolf that helped me to get what i want with the drives.

Have yo see my json files?

Actually, I don’t want to trigger F or G by pressing A, B, C, D or E, but only keep the background of the last effect (F or G) lit.

And also be able to turn the strip on and off in presets F and G when you perform a “long press” action

Here is the preset F in it’s entirety 5sorry for the length but i don’t know how to show the people with an another way…

Here is one of my five drives (or let’s say my 5 amps chanels)

For example Preset A

So: Prest A,B,C,D are quite the same as you can think.

Thats why i had take one drive and one Modulation preset for example.

I tried to figure this out, and it is very complicated, but the only thing i see is that in your drives you are referencing preset F. I would try removing any references to preset F in all of your drive presets.
Good luck

It was @GuitarWolf that helped me to get the drive how I need to.

could you help me concerning the F and G preset?

What do have I to pramm to make it work how I want?

What i recommended should take care of F. Do the same for G.

Remove message 16 and 17 in the drives, these reference Preset F do the same for anything that references preset G

I have tried that.

The problem is that in preset F and G are “message Scroll” type presets to make scroll all the effects is activated.

There is no message that I can trigger to do properly JUST SHOW the status of F or G when I change preset a to E.

If I Programm what you said, yes, with trigger message from F and message 3 (set current preset background color) selected for an example, true, he’s activating message 3 from preset F.

The problem is that I have 2 modulation presets.

And if I programm a second trigger message from G+message 3 and then switch A the 2 backgrounds of F AND G are lit….and then I’m on the same point, I absolutely not know which preset of F or G is selected.

I don’t know how to manage this.

I have tried yet several hours now.

The function I need doesn’t exist.

It’s actually not possible to tell in the preset A, B, C, D or E (all drives):

please show me the background of the LAST USED PRESET between preset F or G”.

If so, please show how.

@GuitarWolf @DomingoL @james any idea?

In Preset F change or remove message 26 to no action or clear the message

In preset G change or remove message 25 to no action or clear the message

I only fixed the show the background of preset F and G , nothing else–see uploaded json

Found some time.

My shot at this:

The ‘on disengage’ doesn’t work, because activating a drive will disengage the preset, too. I replaced this with ‘engage preset/other preset’ messages to prevent that.

You’ve had ‘set toggle/disengage’ messages to deactivate the modulation presets in your drive presets. I’ve removed those, too. Don’t know if this was on purpose.

On a side note:

This is getting convoluted, I’d stop to add more complexity befor it gets out of hand :face_with_peeking_eye: :sweat_smile:

and here another problem. i would like to download your json files but i became this:

ist this normal? since i have windows 11 it’s not like before…

impossible to download; only open link in new tabs etc…

under chrome

under firefox

Right click, download.

Ok i have downloaded the files ; the one from @GuitarWolf and the one from @DomingoL .

Domingol’s one open’s me a error.

With Guitar Wolf’s one there is no Problem and i coul tested it.

It seems to work. I have to try it more deeply tomorrow.
