Hey everyone - I'm relatively new to this world and while I picked up my PBC 6x nearly six months ago, I am just now getting my setup finalized.
I am running a Strymon Compadre before the PBC6x a Strymon Iridium in the insert loop. I plan to control both with MIDI. I run out of the PBC6x to an Empress MIDI Box 2 and then TRS cables to each Strymon.
The Iridium (MIDI channel 2) seems to work correctly. I set up a sound I like on the pedal, hold down the favorite button until it flashes, press the proper button on the PBC6x, the button stops flashing and I can recall the preset as desired. Often this means selecting a preset, tweaking a bit, and then saving in that same preset spot as I refine the sound.
The Compadre (MIDI channel 3) behaves... oddly. I would assume it would operate the exact same way. However, when I hold down the button on the Compadre until it flashes it only responds if I press a DIFFERENT preset button than what I currently have selected. So if I'm on preset x, tweak something on the pedal, hold the Compadre button until it flashes it will continue to flash until I press a button OTHER than the currently selected preset on the mastermind.
I feel like there is some logical explanation and it has to do with my understanding of MIDI / the setup of the controller, but I can't figure it out and would appreciate the insight if anyone can assist.
