Re: RE: Creating Banks with FBV Shortboard MkII

I needed the same thing and was able to accomplish it with max4live with pretty minimal effort. My patch looks kind of insane, but it only took me about an hour to put together and I am sure it could have been done much easier by someone who knows max/msp better than me. I basically take the midi CC messages from the Shortboard and convert them to banks of midi notes. It gave me 15 banks of 8 notes and then a couple of buttons that always send the same message. I also mapped my volume and wah pedals to do different things on each bank. You have to set up your pedal to send CC messages and you could customize it however you want.

To get this particular patch to work I set all my switches to Momentary mode on channel 16, port 1 with the following mappings:

Function 1 CC 22

Function 2 CC 23

Bank Up CC 20

Bank Down CC 21

A CC 28

B CC 29

C CC 30

D CC 31

Tap CC 32

Stomp CC 24

Modulation CC 25

Delay CC 26

Reverb CC 27

Pedal Wah CC 11

Pedal Vol CC 07

Pedal 2 Unassigned

Toe Switch Unassigned

Max with live allows you to do some incredible things with midi that ableton and line 6 never really intended.

If you have max4live you're more than welcome to try it out. If you need a hand with it let me know. I'm still just learning, but I've learned quite a bit writing a mapper for this pedal as well as my old ddrum4 drum kit. The actual patch will show you what bank you're on and what midi note on the keyboard is triggered when you press the button. I put the buttons in Momentary mode so that the note on and note off messages would be sent in case I wanted to be able to hold down the switches to get certain behavior (delays feeding back or whatever). I hope this is helpful.
