Hi there,
I find the midi capabilities extremely limiting and rigid. here is my point of view:
I don't need all those cc values to turn on/off pedals - I am using scenes for that. I'd much rather have all those CCs customizable and assignable to modifiers. Just think 3 controls for each pedal (mix, feedback, cutoff for example). pedals such as drive, vibrato, delay, reverb, chorus, flanger,... for those 6 pedals times 3 controls you would already need 18 controllable modifiers. 16 is not enough, especially since this is a global setting and can't be changed per preset (?!).
now, why have "external controllers" to be assignable to a CC command? why not have a midi menu, where you could define PER-PRESET, what CC numbers will overwrite which modifier?
for example: I want to control Delay Mix, Feedback, Time with CC16, CC17, CC18 in preset 1. for preset 2, I want to use CC16-CC18 to control Vibrato Depth, Rate, Mix.
I hate to say it, but Line6 Helix can do that. Although I'm happy that I'm in fractal world now.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
am I missing something? :/
EDIT:
..and as a fm3 and fm9 owner, MIDI implementation should be the same across the different devices
