hellview666 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Hi, I bought an HX Effects yesterday, absolutely loving the tones and functions. Now I am looking to delve into using MIDI to change the channel on my Blackstar Series One 45; to change from 'Warm Clean' with an Orange LED to 'Super Crunch' with a Red LED, changing between these two on a footswitch press. Any advice please? This is the first time I've ever used MIDI and I'm not fully sure what to do. Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 First, read the manual (both of them, MIDI and Command Center). In HX Effects, Global, MIDI, set MIDI PC Tx to OFF. This prevents the HXFX from sending it's default PC# when switching presets. In Command Center, set an IC (Instant Command) to send the PC# required (per the Blackstar Series One 45 manual - there's 128 choices!). In your case, if you want the HXFX preset to load WARM CLEAN, set the IC to PC#2 on that preset. If you want another preset to load SUPER CRUNCH, set the IC to PC#4. Likewise, if you want to use a Stomp to switch channels within a preset, set that stomp to send the appropriate PC# per the Blackstar Series One 45 manual. Don't forget to save the preset! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellview666 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 Thank you @rd2rk - I'll give that a try this week and read the manuals. I can't "man mode" this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
