It would be like having a virtual rack within the Axe-fx.
Yeah, that's the idea. It wouldn't be good to eat all the MIDI channels,
but I'm sure something could be worked out with a little thought.
javajunkie said:How are you planning to reconfigure your delays?
A couple examples:
One "over-the-top" delay, with a lot more feedback than my
regular setting. Feedback is currently not available as CC.
One "modulated swirly" delay. The modulation settings are not CC-able.
One slapback, with fixed short time and feedback=0. Again, feedback is not CC-able.
Along with a "standard" setting, this is already four configurations. I would actually
like one or two more. So three is really a bare minimum, that I will settle for, if forced.
These are the delays I like to have available in general. That includes for clean, crunchy,
and lead tones.
My current patches use both delay blocks, usually one of them dedicated to slapback.
Of course, only one of the blocks is active at any time, in normal use.
That removes one of the variations, but leaves the others. And those
two delays eat up resources. If you try to get other variations by including
multidelay blocks, you eat up even more CPU. Sometimes
I end up cutting corners elsewhere to make it all fit.
Delays are really the most important example, at least for me.
By the way, the way I like to control these is to use the link feature on the FX1
(I'm sure the Liquid Foot does this too) to set up a mini preset bank which
just switches delay types. That's how I do it in my big rack, using PC's or
CC's to reconfigure delay settings on the fly (depending on the unit).
