Attack of the drones

Hi. This is my first post so forgive any silly noobness.

I really like the idea and sound of this patch, so firstly thanks to MisterE and the others of you who inspired him to create it.

I have already learned a fair bit from looking at many user-created patches, including this one, but have only just bought a MFC-101 and don't have any extra switches (yet). As an inexperienced MFC-101 programmer, is there any way to make this work using just the switches on the MFC-101 i.e. can a given switch be assigned a given drone chord/tone? I'm currently working away from my set-up so can't fiddle around to try to work it out for myself either way. If this is possible, a noob/idiot's walkthrough would be very much appreciated. If not, thanks anyway.

I also really appreciate an easy way to set 3 or 4 switches to play 3 or 4 chords...
If I use 4 switch on MFC-101 than i cannot use them for standard switchinf effects in other Patches?
Is it possible to assign switches to cc just in one patch?
Otherwise we need some extra external switches :-(

Thanks
 
hi guys,just trying to figure out, how do u configure the synth to change chords with the drone?


I just took a look at my version of the patch (the drone is the same, I just changed it to a high gain lead tone) that I've had since this thread was originally posted, and I have an expression pedal attached to all 3 of the SHIFT controls in both SYN blocks 1 & 2 (so that's the same expression pedal attached to a total of 6 SHIFT controls). The SHIFT controls are located on the 1st, 3rd, & 5th pages of the SYN blocks. I'm thinking the patch comes with all the SHIFT control's Modifier pages already setup with a controller attached, so you'll to change the Source (if needed) to what you want to use to change the drone's chords.


Hope that makes sense. :)
 
Thank you thank you....
Well i recorded a new version - link updated
And here's the preset:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14506389/Drone G -24 - +24.syx

It's with the Petrucci mix V30 cab so you shouldn't have any problems now.
Extern2 controls the Synth volume
Extern8 sets the notes:
C56
C#57
D58
D#59
E60
F61
F#62
G63
G#64
A65
A#66
B67
C68

Awesome patch. Was just about to lament that I had but one expression pedal to give to my country....er, to the patch. However, it appears that one pedal may work for the most part. Off to experiment.....
