Ok so I've been attempting to control the m5
With an xy pad I have installed in my Guitar
On my further quest to connect it to actually guitar fx and not just a kaoss pad :)
To do this I have also squired an event processor plus from midi solutions.
What setting do I need to transmit so fx will toggle on/off ?
Here's my info and trials so far
From what I understand
The m5 uses cc 1 for the expression pedal
And cc 11 for fx on off 0-63 bypass/64-127 on
My xy pad is currently
Set to transmit on channel 1
With x value 0-127 on cc12
And y balue 0-127 on cc 13
Touching the pad send cc 127
And not touching the pad sends cc 0
There is also a hold function that keeps values where last touched while turned on
Ok small problem is I can't fully test it because I broke my screen changing the frame around it and have a new one on order should be here in about a week
But I do have my trusty kaoss pad kp2
And those xy pad setting where designed for it
It is my
Understanding it sends those same values
Ok bear with
Using the event processor plus I create 2
Settings
Setting 1
map a midi event ;
Control change ; 12 value y
Midi Channel: 1
Map to this event :
Control change; 1 value y midi channel :1
Setting 2
map a midi event ;
Control change ; 92 value y
Midi Channel: 1
Map to this event :
Control change; 11 value y channel 1
So I program that in connect everything up
And setting 1 works fine setting 2 does not
So I can use the x y pad as an expression pedal
Awesome first step complete
But the kp2 (as far as I understand it send touching the pad 127 and not touching it 0
So touching the pad should turn the fx on and off
And it does not
What am I doing wrong ?
It is possible the kp2 doesn't send those values
I know for sure the xy pad will but can't test it for a week
I looked in the kp2 manual but most manuals have extremely limited midi instructions
And I'm honestly pretty new to midi
The event processor plus will let me nap pretty much any midi info to any other
I assume it needs to be cc to cc in this case
Did I do it wrong ?
My other options are
Note on
Note off
Key pressure
Program change
System exclusive
But it seems like cc to cc is my best bet
Values can also be value y
Or variable 1-8 or 0-127
I mean I could also map it to the y axis channel 13 but I don't know how that would work with just on off
Basically I'm trying to use 1 axis as an expression pedal and touching the pad as bypass/ on
I'm not sure if anyone has messed around with this maybe I'm the first lol
Could be cool if we could figure out then
One could ostensibly control the whole pedal from a touch screen on your guitar
So worth it gotta figure it
Out!!
Please and thankyou for any advice :)
