ok i think i'm following you now. so when you set that up in the control center pedal setup, you would basically create any number of stompboxes that you require (for the notes that you want to trigger) and your data 2 number (0-127) for each stomp would be set to the corresponding pitch you are after? is this right?
i hope i'm getting this... how exciting?.....
You're correct, but you have some additional possibilities.
- I mentioned the use of "data variables", because that reduces the number of required stompboxes. With those variables, you can have 4 overall stompboxes for note triggering, and each song can still define a different pitch for each of those 4 stompboxes
- linked to that, I mentioned the use of the "Direct banks", because these are typically used to store a number of presets or stomps which you want to use in any song, without sacrificing switches in each "regular" bank.
- you can group the Note stomps if you always want to play single notes (selecting the next note automatically stops the previous note)
- you can use "momentary effects" instead of stomps if you want to sustain a note as long as you have a switch pressed.
- if you really want to have fun : you can program short riffs, by having a sequence of CC messages with customizable delay in between them - each CC message modifies the pitch. You can use the special "loop" commands in the message stream to repeat the riff contstantly, or a programmable number of times....
Within these loops, you can define the delay in terms of "MIDI beats" instead of absolute delays, and have an incoming MIDI clock define the tempo of your riffs. Or use the built-in MIDI Clock generator, program a certain BPM, and control the Axe-FX or other devices with that clock, in order to have your sounds modulated in the tempo of the riff.
- And so on... ;-)
