Change scene by turning on Wah?

[Maddface]

That’s what I’m using, misunderstood your post.

You have the one with the switch? Just program the switch to change to your wah scene, instant wah.

So you are not using auto-engage? But rather the built-in expression pedal switch?

Yes.

Exactly what I’m trying to accomplish. Now that we are in agreement on the idea, how do we make that happen?

Program the switch to change your scene and you'll need auto engage in the wah settings.

Im still at the how do you accomplish this.

How do you make that switch accomplish this task on a given preset?

Youtube - stand in switch

Look up "Stand-in" switches inthe FC-6/FC-12 manual:
https://www.fractalaudio.com/downloads/manuals/FC-X/FC6+12-Owners-Manual.pdf

In the Axe-Fx III, Home->Setup->FC Controllers->Stand-in switches - assign it to a layout and a switch.
In the FC Controllers page you can then configure that switch to do the scene switch you want.

I found that and was watching as you posted. I had no idea. This would seem to do it. If I click the wah switch to ON it can switch me to scene 8, where I can use this trick whenever needed.

It also appears I can access scene 8 directly as well, so that’s a plus.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I’m baaaaaaaack.

For some reason I have to double tap the switch on the Mission SP-1 to get it work.

Any ideas?

stand switch 1 is set to

scene
Select
8

Do I need to use a mono chord perhaps?

Check the configuration of the switch. Go to Setup>FC Controllers>Remote and try changing the behaviour and polarity of the switch.

Virtual toggle does nothing.

With polarity reversed, it works with one click every other time. Like when the switch is off and you press it once for ON. However if it is on, you need to press it TWICE to work. It appears to need to go from On, to Off, back to On.

Is the switch in the pedal a momentary or latching switch? The behavior sounds like a latching switch action on the physical switch.

It is latching, it is on/off like a wah has.

If I plug our drum machine pedal in to the FC12 it works perfectly.

You'll need to swap in a momentary switch.

 

[Moke]

A Latching switch should be able to act as a 'toggle'. You have to set it up as a 'virtual toggle'. It's in there somewhere, not near my stuff right now.

It can work for effect on/off with a latching switch by setting the switch up as momentary, but the OP wants to switch scene when clicking the wah switch, which apparently works on the switch's equivalent to the "mouse up" event....

I ordered a new Mission pedal off their website, they just called to tell me they no longer offer spring loaded pedals with momentary switches.

Got momentary from Love My Switches!

I'm so glad, that I stumbled into this thread, because I heard for the first time about stand-in switches. And the video of Chris makes it so easy to use them, that I got instantly completely new ideas for programming the FC-12. Oh happy day...

I thought that the mission pedals had momentary switches. My bad

They do, but will not do it spring loaded.

Since I am using autoengage I need spring loaded.
They lost $600 in sales.
