I have 7 MIDI capable devices, and would like to set up the following functionality for them, if possible.
Have two switches that scroll through the devices (e.g. Switch A goes to the previous device and B goes to the next), have two other switches to scroll through the saved presets (C goes to the previous PC and F goes to the next), and have a button that turns the device on/off (e.g. press D to turn on, press D again to turn off).
I'm wondering if this is possible? Or is it not possible, since each device will have its own CC message for bypass/engage? Also, I want to send these messages one device at a time. That is, if I'm scrolling through PC messages on one device, I don't want all other devices scrolling through the same PC #s.
If this is possible, could someone help me figure it out? I believe I've set up switches C and F to go forward and back through saved presets (using PC Scroll Down and PC Scroll Up), but I'm not sure how to do this with devices (i.e. Midi Channels).
You could achieve a behavior like this... Here's how I'd set it up:
You'll need to use 7 MC6 Banks. Each of these MC6 Banks will represent a Device.
For the "Device Scroll Up/Down"
On Bank 1 set Preset A to MC6 Bank Up, set Preset B to Set Bank 7
On Bank 7 set Preset A to MC6 Bank Down, set Preset B to Set Bank 1
Banks 2-6, have Presets A / B simply Set Banks to the MC6 banks before and after them.
Which a unique bank for each device, you can now program C / F to program change that specific Device. Likewise, you can have a dedicated Preset to bypass / enable that device as well.
