Activating/deactivating 2 blocks with 1 switch?

[Frank Furter]

I'm using an FX-III and an FC-12. (How) can I activate/deactivate two effect blocks simultaneously by just pressing one footswitch?

With a scene. Or by using a 'Control Switch' attached to the 'Bypass States' of both effects.

Thank you, @Moke. I forgot to mention that I want to do this without changing scenes (or even presets). I'll try the Control Switch option, however.

I have now solved the problem by setting up a control switch as suggested. I noticed, however, that the effect blocks are bypassed by default when the footswitch to which I have assigned the CS lights up, and the blocks are activated then the light is off. Is this 'standard' behavior or can I change the 'direction' of the CS? As a workaround, I have set the start value of the modifiers to 100% and the end value to 0%, which results in a negative slope of the modifier curve and effectively swaps the action of the switch.

BTW: (how) can I display the functions of all control switches assigned in a specific preset, including those that do not modify block settings but send MIDI messages only?

It's in the modifier settings. What you did works, but the other way is this:



You just swap "bypassed" and "engaged" under parameter range.

On the PC editor, Controllers > Modifiers will show a list that applies to the preset...not sure about MIDI messages.
