Just a quick feedback after playing with it for a while: The effect bypass state changes are updated flawlessly in the template (for the CC range you have coded) when triggered by the FCB direct via the corresponding respective CC or indirect, when using the "wildcard" setup, via the corresponding CC for an allocated external controller, mapped to a specific effect bypass parameter. So what I originally desired is in fact there and I am very happy with that
What I have noticed:
1) Even though when calling up a preset, all corresponding effects in the chain are initially properly turned on/off in the template, triggering an effect on/off from the FP (with the FX BYP knob) is not reflected in the template? That I do not understand as the template is listening to the Axe on port 0 and it obviously does react to patch and tempo changes from the FP (it reacts to the Axe).
Why does the template reflect bypass state changes from my FCB but not from the FP?? I don't get it.
My daemon setup is:
Axe MIDI In receives from Lemur out 0
Axe MIDI Out sends to Lemur in 0
FCB sends to Lemur in 1
Axe connected to my PC via USB, FCB connected to my PC via Motu MidiExpress 128, port 3 and Midi routing from Motu port 3 to Axe via Miditrix software (this Motu device does not offer internal routing by itself). I tried enabling the "USB Adapter Mode" on the Axe but that did not make a change.
2) After fiddling with the template for while, sometimes a state occurs where moving faders or controls creates a fluttering sound in the Axe (speakers) - simply changing preset (and back) resolves that and control movements are sonically as smooth as before. I was not able to recreate such a state on purpose so that I could detect what has to happen in which sequence for this to occur.
Roger on your points 1 & 2 - I understand now.
Overall, I think that -at least from me- the bypass state updates are a huge step forward as now, one can play guitar while using the foot controller (including the pedals) and at the same time modify parameters comfortably in the template without having to think about keeping the pedals in sync with the template (e.g. stomp boxes).
This thing is awesome!
