HI. I'm trying to work out of the MC6 will work for my intended use which is acting as a foot switch for a midi capable guitar amp allowing for both direct inputs (using the footswitches) as well as commands from a Line 6 HX Effects during patch and snapshot changes. I plan to feed midi from the HX Effects to the MC6 then from the MC6 to the amp. The amp in question has a total of 12 states which are all called via program change messages consisting of 6 different sounds each with the ability to use a second master volume. Only one can be active at any one time.
I plan to have each of the six switches programmed to select the six sound options and then pressing a second time will toggle between the master 1 and master 2 volume for that sound. Because only one of the 12 states can be active at any time, any press of a switch will require all the others switches to reset to the default state which seems to be possible with the programming in the MC6 itself and also via CC messages from the HX Effects. One thing I'm unclear of however whether clearing the states of all presets by pressing one of the switches on the MC6 or by sending a CC message from the HX Effects will actually cause the sending of midi data from the MC6 to the amp for the resets? Heres an example of how I'd like it to work. This is the default view, if I want to call sound 1 I would press switch A --------------------------------------------------
4 5 6
1 2 3
---------------------------------------------------
Upon pressing switch A a PC 1 midi command would be sent to the amp and the display would change as follows showing that another press on A would engage master 2 on sound 1. --------------------------------------------------
4 5 6
1 Boost 2 3
---------------------------------------------------
If however I press switch B to engage sound 2 and send midi PC 2 I would need to reset all other positions as except for sound 2 as only the currently selected sound should show the option to engage the boost.
--------------------------------------------------
4 5 6
1 2 Boost 3
---------------------------------------------------
Does reseting (clearing) the toggle state of the switches send any additional data out to the amp or is this reset handled just for the MC6's status?
As the amp can only be in one state at a time it obviously doesn't need to receive a whole bunch of midi PC commands with each press, I just needs one to tell it which setting to go to. Sorry for the long question, that's the only way I could explain it.
