Title: Midi Expression paddle
Post by: Statcho on April 01, 2016, 01:08:28 AM

Hi !

I've got a non-modified ADA MP1 and a FCB 1010 foot controller. I can easily change sounds via midi but I was wandering if it is possible to control only one parameter inside the MP1...
I mean, il would be so great to pair an exp paddle with the master gain for exemple or with chorus depth...

Is it possible ?

Well unfortunately not with MP1, but yes with MP2 (as has CC control built in), MP1 predates this functionality  :facepalm:

Oh... So sad...

I was looking for a way to control my rig volume. Cannot be done by the M One multi FX, neither by the MP1.
I would have preferred not to use a volume paddle... I have to find out a other way to control it!

Thanks rnolan !

Man, I'm stupid ! :crazy:

I didn't even think to output volume. I thought it was only the output volume of the effects and, since it's plugged in my FX loop, it would be useless for a master volume. GREAT ! Thank you MarshallJMP !

Mike uses his GMaj to control the master vol, he's got it patched after the MP1 before the poweramp.  The way I did volume back when I was using MP1 was to program all the vol changes in various patches, took a while to fine tune but works.
