Short version: what exactly are you trying to do? (regardless of the floor controller (please don't mention it in your goals
))
Between this and your prior post...
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=16409
...(linked in case anyone else is also feeling helpful)... I'm not sure if you're understanding the terms yet (not a bad thing).
What's confusing me most about your posts is the mention of CCs recalling a preset on the Axe-Fx. That shouldn't ever happen.
Long load of blather follows...
Generally, in MIDI as it pertains to controlling the Axe-Fx, there are two kinds of messages you need to be concerned with:
- PC messages (selecting patches a.k.a. presets)
- CC messages (controlling the individual effects within a preset and other miscellaneous functions)
CC#0 also has a special usage, to retrieve presets above 0-127 (or 1-128, depending on your setup).
CC#32 is often related to CC#0's bank select functions with other gear, but I don't believe it applies to the Axe-Fx -- just double-checked it with MIDI-OX and CC#32 should
not select a preset on the Axe-Fx.
Checking out the
manual for the Fender Cyber Foot Controller, it helps clarify a couple of things -- in your other post, you mention that the "Effects On" button sends CC85 with a value of either 0 or 1. That looked questionable to me, and I'm happy to read (this is a good thing and explains why that was working despite what was written
) that it actually sends a value of 0 or 127.
For the "Tap Tempo/Tuner" button, the manual may not be quite as clear. It confirms a value of 0 on CC119, but also states that a "tap tempo" message is sent which doesn't tell me much -- I'm left wondering if they mean MIDI Time Clock or something similar. And they also mention the Bank Change message as a small-print footnote to that button, when it sounds like it's sent on
all PCs... a rather important thing to just footnote there, but then again, the controller doesn't seem to have been designed with vendor agnosticism (or manual writing
) as a priority. Also, it doesn't mention whether it uses CC#0 or CC#32 or both for the Bank Change message and fails to make note of those in the MIDI Implementation Chart as well.
In other words... I don't like your controller
and it's making it difficult to guide you towards whatever you might be trying to achieve. :|
(I get that you want to use your existing gear, if possible. Nothing at all wrong with that... unless it turns out that there is.
)
