This is not music theory, it's basic musical stuff. Just use your ears if you don't understand the terminology.

Re: M13-compatible Expression Pedals

lag in midi expression pedal is easy to fix. When you go fast the pedal has to send out every 16th number, when you slow it has to send out every number. There must be a setting in the Behringer that addresses that... speed? scaling? something like that.

Hey MrOMCY...

SOLUTIONS R US... he he he

I've tried everything in my power to get 1 pedal to control both expression inputs with a switch go between them. And, you right, there's no way toggling with one pedal can work right with the analog CV expression inputs. As soon as you toggle from one to the other the first one loses it's settings. Not really any way around that yet.

midi is the only way...

the 1st solution I ended up with was 3 midi solutions boxes, pedal controller, footswitch and event processor. a boss ex5 and a footswitch. It worked ok, but I experienced midi lag with M series. Very expensive.

Then I got a Moog MP-201, which worked perfectly. 4 buttons, 1 pedal. I have cc 2 on one button, cc1 on another and looper engage and pre/post on the other 2 buttons. But, it is huge and heavy as hell, not to mention very expensive.

Recently I found Disaster Area Amps. They make midi boxes for controlling the M series. So I custom ordered a pedal, wah wah style and shape, that has a little soft touch toggle switch on the side that switches between cc1 and cc2. it works perfectly... this is the answer. I had them put a second switch that toggles between looper on/off so I don't have to hold the tap for 2 seconds to loop.

I suggest anyone who wants both expression pedals controllable through one pedal to save space should get in touch with them. It was less than half the price of the MP-201. I'm in exp heaven now.

Thank you phil_m !!!

I did try the Power All based on one of your posts, so it's good to read your chiming in.

I'm not feeding multiple DSPs... just the M5 and some transistor based efx, 3 to be exact. A Dunlop Mister Super Cry Baby, a Timmy and a Dunlop Custom Comp. I didn't notice any problems with noise, but the M5 is doing some pretty strange things with regards to volume jumps and drops... althugh I don't think that has anything to do with the power supply, I think I just have a dfective unit.

Anyway... let's see what Mr. Line 6 Perry has to say about the separation of powers. I'm anxious to read his reply.

Hello Mr. Line 6 Perry,

Isn't one of the main selling points of the M5 that you can power it with something like a Godlyke power all, which serves up 1700ma of DC 9v, and power your other pedals with the same supply??? Why would it make a difference to use separate supplies for DSP based and transistor based? What facts do you have to support that assertion? It does seem like common sense, but there must be more to it than that. thanks

Thanks Line 6 Don,

I did specify the power supply... Godlyke Powerall... 9v DC 1700ma power supply, in case you're not aware of the specs of that power supply. It should be compatible, right?

as I said, the M5's volume dips up and down while NOT pressing. and then I noticed that by pressing it jumps up considerably, as if there is a short inside. Of course I'm not sitting there doing it over and over again for fun.

M5 volume problem?

support@line6.com — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 00:27:31 GMT

I asked this but forgot to mark it as a question...

If I press on the spot on the part of the face of the unit that says 'M5' there is a huge intermittent volume BOOST.... probably about 10db worth

Also, sometimes it seems like the volume of my output dips a lot while playing

that can't possibly be software related, right?

The M5 is compatible with the power supply I'm using, right? Besides this cropping up it had been working perfectly.

so what could this be?

M5 manual error

support@line6.com — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 03:28:26 GMT

on page 6 of the M5 manual it says "

• With your computer set up to record sysex, press and hold TAP

while you press down on the MODEL SELECT knob."

it should say ON/OFF instead of TAP in that sentence...

you're welcome.

M5 volume drop?

Also, sometimes it seems like the volume of my output dips by about 6db

that can't possibly be software related, right?
