    Thanks for the useful tips! Really looking forward to see how to use a Wave Generator with HX Stomp - to emulate expression pedal with Whammy pedal, a wah, and generating infinite feedback on delay with just the one switch of the MC6. This feature is not documented in release note and can't understand why the minimum value is 5 for example, and so on :/

    Great video! For the change stomp footswitch mode though, wouldn't you want the first one to be release, not press? I find when you have press and long press, it always does press first but if you hold it long enough it will jump to the long press. So if you didn't want the Stomp to jump to the press option first, it should be release? Or have you changed how that works?

    Hi! You are right about the way the actions interact. Usually it would be best to use release instead. However in this case, we are just changing modes. As Long Press will be registered after Press, we will still be able to achieve the desired outcome. Cheers!

    Hi. Yes, FM3 is also able to output MIDI messages. It can send a PC message each time a preset is engaged too. So 2-way communication is also possible. Refer to pg 113 of the FM3 manual: www.fractalaudio.com/downloads/manuals/FM3/FM3-Owners-Manual.pdf

    Could you set other pedals to change parameters when you switch presets on the stomp? For example, if I wanted to have a separate reverb pedal change from a spring to hall setting when switching between 2 presets?

    Question... If you set a button to perform a single tap and double tap... does it slow down the single tap due to processing? Both my FAMC and JET midi controllers have a delay when using multifunction buttons.

  • @MorningstarEngineering

    @MorningstarEngineering

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi Jeff. Yes there will be a delay as the controller will have to wait to see if a second tap is coming before it sends it executes send. We recommend using 'Release' and Long Press if you would like lower latency multi-action functionality.

    Is there no way to use two way communication (so the Stomp can control the bank changes on the MC6) and have MIDI Thru on as well? I have a couple of other pedals I want to control with MIDI but can't without turning on Thru, which leads to the infinite loop problem.

    If you are using the MC6 PRO you can control the MIDI In and Thru routing options such that messages received from MIDI In are only passed out thru selected MIDI outputs. However, on the non-PRO models, there is no way to do this.

Much more often people need for example to engage the tuner or list the banks not depending in what bank/preset they are. There should be ways to do that in more raional manner than just copy/paste the commands inside the controller menu.
