Using an Axe Fx. My issue is that when I first go to a patch and hit the effect toggle, I need to hit it twice the first time I arrive at the patch. Every other time it works properly. Until I go to a new patch and want to toggle any other effect. Need to hit the toggle two times for it to kick in the first time. Is there a way to avoid this? I tried sending a toggle effect off at M1 and the Toggle on at M2.
I was hoping this will always tell the effect to be off when I go to the patch, but it didn't help.
Can you guys write out a small example of the above 2 posts? I am programming switch A as follows:
M1: conditional 2,2
M2: cc toggle 47,0. 47,127
M3: blink
M4: conditional 0,0
M5: cc toggle 106,0. 106,127
M6: blink
With my AxeFX2) If my last action toggled 47 I'll need to do hold and hold again to toggle 106. If my last action toggled 106 I need to press twice to toggle 47.
CC toggle: inactive state CC number then O Active state: CC number then 127
Hi. When programming the MC6 make sure you program the inactive state CC number and 0. Then, the active state as CC number and 127. This will stop the double clicks.
Hi Ian,
Just tested, and confirming that the Clear Toggle works on the extra presets as well. Just put up a screenshot of your settings and we can check what is wrong.
will send a screen shot shortly
But this isn't about the presets on the MC6 itself, but about clearing the additional external footswitches so they will operate correctly. They have to be individually identified, i have 3 and takes all the slots
How are you programming the messages? The clear toggle (all) works, I have just tested it. It sets all the engaged presets (that are blinking) to inactive (and it stops blinking). Could you share a screenshot of your setting in the web editor?
I use the MC6 for 6 presets
I have a custom built 6 switch external controller, 2 rows of 3.
Bottom 3 control my amp, this is where i was having the issue. Resolved by setting all the switches individually thru #CC Toggle in each patch and then i have to also clear the individual external patches and then set any that need to be active.
It needs to be clearly stated that the 'Clear All' option simply does not work, at all!
Because of this I have individual clears for my 3 bottom switches BUT i now do not have enough Msg fields to clear and set the other 3 External switches...
Getting a little frustrated with it being so close but too many limitations, issues....
Do you use all 12 presets per bank?
Ok, i got this sorted by writing out a complex matrix of all the options then going thru them 1 by 1 till i found the solution
In each preset make a clear toggle defining the switches to be cleared
then after this make a set toggle action for the switch you need to be active for that preset,
If nothing needs to be active then skip the set toggle action.
This works for me, however i have now no spaces left to control other devices...
Request 16 actions in a future update for the switches please or to be able to control more midi devices
I have the exact same issue but with controlling amp switching
The patches are all programmed with a 3 single control change message for my amp switcher but i have a 3 button extension box that i step on for live control of the amp switcher so i can change the amp on the fly.
The buttons on the switcher are programmed with toggles but most of the time i have to press twice to activate or deactivate the switch on the fly...
Reading this post i need to use clear toggle but i just can't get it to work.
can someone explain how this works with control messages please???
Detailed explanation here would help future users
Thanks
Can I send a clear toggle message to my Axe? What you are describing is clearing the toggle within the MC. If so what would the values be?
Set Toggle simply engages the toggle for a different preset. For your case, it seems like you should be using Clear Toggle instead, which resets the toggle for a specified preset.
So I tried Set Toggle. It works, sort of.
Not really understanding the logic behind it.
I have a patch where the delay is engaged. By setting Set toggle to 127:127 (not sure what this represents) it disengages the delay consitently whenever I come back to this patch.
If I have the patch with the delay off, using the same Set toggle values I need to hit it twice to get it to engage.
When I try to Engage another effect, I'm to having to hit it twice.
So make a long story short , I have no idea what I'm doing and jiust throwing darts at the wall.
Hi Steve,
Do take a look at the clear toggle or set toggle mesaage type. Basically, that will engage or disengage a toggle from a specified preset.
