MIDI Pedal Board Multi Fx Patch

This patch is a work in progress. There are two versions, patch 26 is the “finished” version and patch 27 is the old version. The txt document / manual isn’t fully updated for the newer version. As such, a majority of the guide is still set written to describe the older version. I provided both versions to hopefully make sense of the discrepencies.

This patch is an example of my most recent multi-fx patch I’ve created to work with my MIDI board.

I’m using a

BOSS ES-5 loop switcher
RC-500 loop station*
2 button foot switch
M-audio Expression pedal
CME U6 MIDI interface
Drive/comp/EQ pedals

*RC-500’s purpose within this patch is solely being used for it’s MIDI functions, and not as a looper.

I intend on cleaning up the manual, as well as creating a video walkthrough I’ll post on youtube once finished. However, seeing I’m going up north on vacation for 2 weeks, I intended on posting a fully finished project with video before I left, but didn’t get a chance to finish the project before I left. When I return I’ll get back to work and update everything as soon as I have the time to do so.

For now, this patch is likely very Board specific, and a lot to make sense of until then, but if anybody wants to take a look, try to set it up with thier board, or even dissect it for some ideas etc. Go nuts!

The goal of this patch was to simplify my controls down to 4 main presets, which I control with Foot Switches 2-5 on the loop switcher.

2 = clean / no effect
3 = Drive / no effect
4 = clean w/ effect
5 = Drive w/effect

Additionally, when effects are engaged, the patch is designed to switch between 3 user set “FX-Presets” as defined by the ZOIA foot Switches.

Once I get around to making a video, I feel as though the patch will make a lot more sense. But alas; I won’t get a chance to get that finished before I go, so for now, feel free to check this out as is.

    Funny, I’ve got my presets set up in a very similar arrangement. And I’m using an ES-5 too. Thanks for putting this together. It sounds really useful. Will downl8ad an try out in next couple of days.

    Cheers
