I've had the PBC for close to a month now and I'm loving it more and more as I unlock different ideas and capabilities. Such a great piece of kit and it is saving me a massive amount of time with its editor. Well done Ron and the RJM team! Really satisfied customer.
I am however struggling to get two things working the way I'd like. I've attached my config file here as well for context.
1) HX STOMP: I have a Gain block on my Stomp that I use for solo boosts (+3.5dbs). The goal is for that Gain block to activate whenever I hit the PBC presets that I've designed to be solos. I've tried two ways of sending activate CCs from the PBC - Footswitch 2 where I assigned the Gain block (CC msg 50 value 127) and the MIDI CC I assigned on the Stomp (CC msg 11 value 127).
The issue I'm having is that the Gain block will cycle on and off whenever I change presets. That's even for presets where I don't have any Gain Block CC msgs being sent. Even adding a CC message to deactivate the block for non-solo presets doesn't stop it from cycling on / off.
I've tried CC Toggle / CC Momentary on the Buttons page and also in the Preset Actions... As soon as I add a CC msg to control Footswitch 2 or my assigned CC it will toggle on / off when changing presets.
I'm at a loss how to rig this up! HELP!
2) Walrus D1: The second is with the Walrus Audio Mako D1. The default state when turning on is bypassed. I want to program the PBC to send the CC msg to engage the pedal on startup. I tried it under Macros but was unable to get it to work. I even tried adding the CC msg to the first preset and it still wouldn't engage. At the moment I'm manually engaging it. Which is fine... Just not as streamlined as I want
It's worth saying that all other MIDI commands and devices are working as expected (I have several of them). I can control the Stomp's looper from a page I dedicated to its controls so I know it can be controlled by the PBC correctly. The D1 changes presets as desired... MIDI chain is PBC > Stomp > H9 > D1 ...
Appreciate the ideas
