Quad Switch Wish List

(1/2) > >>

Dante:
I wish I could control my external FX (like the Quadraverb's reverb or delay) with the MP-2's Quad Switch. That would be cool. I have to settle for turning the FX loop on/off, which makes me begin with a dry signal :/ Or...I can use my little G-minor midi pedal directly into the Quadraverb, but then I have to power it, and run another midi cable...no good.

So, I have to dedicate a patch for each delay setting for now. I can use the Quad switch to control other things, like the compressor or EQ for a solo boost....that helps bridge the gap a bit.

In other news, I'll have an owners' manual posted on here very soon for the MXC expandable controller & midi pedal pack. I have the actual printed manual, I'll scan a nice clean PDF for everyone.

MarshallJMP:
Doesn't the quadraverb support midi cotrol change?I thought it did.Now if it does support it you can use the quad switch to control the QV.

Dante:
Here's what the manual says:

The Quad sitch tells the MXC to send midi contoller messages to turn effects on and off. Each button on the quad switch has its own controller number. The defaults are as follows:

MXC Jack Used / Controller / Controller Number
Switch 1 / Button 1 / 64
Switch 1 / Button 2 / 65
Switch 1 / Button 3 / 66
Switch 1 / Button 4 / 67

Then, it says to 'refer to the manual for the midi receiving unit to find out how to assign controller numbers to its internal parameters.

So, I'll check out the Quadraverb manual to see if this is possible.

EDIT: After combing through the 113 page manual for the Quadraverb... There are ways to change the programs via midi (aka patch switching), but so far, no way to change individual FX in the programs (turning them on/off in a patch) I could just use more patches...but that's a pain.

I also thought about this; I can set the left/right delay times (or reverb times) independently in the Quadraverb, then send each mix into each of the FX loops in the MP-2. So, I could use each FX loop in the MP-2 independently, and edit the left/right channels of the Quadraverb with two separate delay (or reverb) settings - one for left, one for right. Run the left mix into loop A and the right mix into loop B = two delay settings per patch, switchable via the Quad switch.

I haven't tried it yet, wish me luck :)

MarshallJMP:
Hey Dante

Mail me the manual of the QV so i can take a look.I know there are at least 4 different QV models,which one do you have?

Dante:
I have the original, but I upgraded the eprom to a QV+

Here's the manual
