JLE888 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I’m using the HD500x in pedalboard mode and I toggle between two amp models on one footswitch. I have all blocks used in my patch but have two unused footswitches. It kinda bothers me that they are unused. Is there anything else I can assign them to, like parameters or can they only be assigned to blocks? Heres the fx blocks I use: Particle verb Analog delay w/mod Reverse Delay Pitch Vibrato Pitch Glide Vol 1 Vol 2 Wah (expression pedal) The Wah obv uses the toe switch of exp pedal and the volume pedals are assigned to the same footswitch to toggle between amps. This leaves me with two unused switches. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurghanico Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The footswitches can not be assigned directly to parameters, but only to switch on/off the blocks... ..AND to send MIDI commands pre-programmed into the patches, like preset/setlists changes, on/off switching of functions/blocks, or parameters values.. eg if you connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT back to the MIDI IN of the POD you could take advantage of the still unused footswitches and program them to do 2 interesting tricks explained in two posts in my website: MEGA PLAYLIST SWITCHING SETLISTS ON THE FLY _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLE888 Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Did not know that, that's a cool feature, thanks. I plugged in a MIDI cable and went to the MIDI implementation page. I was able to get the footswitch to respond by setting it to CC toggle and changing the according CC #. I got it to turn on/off the actual block itself, but couldn't figure out how to get it change specific parameters of fx. Could you possibly help me program these specific things mentioned below? I would like FS6 and FS7 to be programmed to control delay parameters. I would like FS6 to toggle the delay subdivision from the dotted 8ths I normally have it set at to 1/4 notes. Also would like FS7 to be programmed to increase delay repeats when pressed. I couldn't find the corresponding CC numbers for these parameters anywhere in the manuals. thanks in advance for the help!

In the POD the FX parameters can not be controlled by MIDI By MIDI the POD responds only to bank and program changes, and to the following functions (listed in the downloadable advanced manual): _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
