OK, so I have an old (original) Ground Control (not pro). I have the last firmware, and have the memory upgrade that should let me access up to 360 presets. I have it set to "Bank4" mode. This gives me a top row of IA switches, and 4 preset switches per bank. Can't remember how many banks though.
Anyway, it seems that Bank A (on the Axe) is presets as is bank B. The user stuff is in bank C, which is where I did all of my patch creation.
I can't seem to switch to these (bank C) presets! The stupid GC only allows me to direct access presets up to 2 digits! IOW, up to 99, and only in Bank1 of the AxeFx. I'm sure this is not the case and I'm setting this up incorrectly.
I tried MIDI mapping in the Axe-Fx, but that only allows mapping up to preset 254. That doesn't help me either as my presets are ABOVE bank B.
I read that I can switch to Bank C by setting CC#0 to send out message #2? Does that mean I have to somehow reprogram that step into every program change? Or do I have to use up one of my IA switches to switch to Bank 3 everytime I turn the Axe on? Is there a way (in the Axe) to have the change messages automatically default to Bank C?
For example I want:
(on the ground control) Bank 01, button 1 to switch to preset #281 (on the Axe).
(on the ground control) Bank 01, button 2 to switch to preset #283 (on the Axe).
(on the ground control) Bank 01, button 3 to switch to preset #287 (on the Axe).
(on the ground control) Bank 02, button 1 to switch to preset #284 (on the Axe).
(on the ground control) Bank 02, button 2 to switch to preset #285 (on the Axe).
(on the ground control) Bank 02, button 3 to switch to preset #287 (on the Axe).
(on the ground control) Bank 02, button 4 to switch to preset #282 (on the Axe).
Thanks for any help! The GC manual doesn't reflect the memory upgrade stuff, so I can't seem to find the help there, and the I looked through the Axe manual and Wiki, and they address MIDI mapping, etc. but not switching to Bank C presets, or how exactly to GET to bank C (via MIDI) before making the program change number.
Thanks!
