Hi all, I’m about to finish setting up a board that has almost all midi capable pedals that let you save additional presets by sending them program changes.
I understand how to do this for each pedal and I’ve read the PBC manual and watched the RJM video that shows how to do this from the settings on the PBC itself.
What I’m struggling to get my head around is the preset management on the PBC itself.
Basically all I want to do is sit down with the board, experiment and make some sounds, and then use the PBC to save those to the pedal preset slots. I would then go to PBC preset two, then three, then four etc and repeat the process.
Is this the best way to approach it?
I think the main part worrying me is the save procedure if i have changed settings on several of the pedals. I think this would be fine if I can latch them all in Save mode, but what if they all need the switches physically held down? If I understand correctly, using the PBC to send a PC message to save a preset on one pedal will send the corresponding PC messages for other pedals that have been enabled on the preset? So any changes on those pedals will be lost if they weren’t also in save mode? Is there a quick way to stop the PBC sending messages to them until I can go through and save each pedal individually (other than pull their midi cables)?
Apologies for the rambling question, hopefully it makes sense.
