an expression pedal into MC6 that sends equivalent CC messages to the device
I’m mostly thinking about the smoothness of the sweep, especially for volume swells and wah.
A Midi CC’s value can go from 0-127; wondering if that’s too coarse in practice. Also wondering if a midi MC6’s sampling rate can be too low or the sending/receiving midi handling would be more laggy/jittery?
I assume the use of Pitch messages or MSB/LSB is not a practical option (low adoption among devices).
I use a Mission Engineering exp pedal to trigger a wah on my H9. And yes, the sweep isn’t as smooth and has a slight lag, but that being said it is still totally useable. I still opt to use it plugged into my MC8, because sometimes I want the option to use the same pedal with other effects like my Strymon Mobius.
I use a separate Dunlop Wah for most shows and use the h9 midi wah for small stage gigs and practices.
To confirm, this is the output you are talking about right? Input is always linear (we have a ticket to read log inputs in our backlog but low priority).
So you are looking to send CC values with a choice of linear or log curves?
Yes. And technically this could also solve the reading of log inputs as well; it’s just another curve to choose from (inverse log curve). May not work as well in practice…
