Maintain volume block level when using snapshots?

[bt7645362]

I'm wondering if there is a way to have the volume block maintain it's last know state when changing snapshots. Currently it will revert to the previous position that the volume block was set to when changing snapshots. I'm using a MidiBaby with an expression pedal to control the volume block via CC, which works great (I use the built in exp1 and exp2 for wet mix and modulation speed via mini expression pedals).. when changing snapshots, the volume block level does not reflect the physical position of the expression pedal which is a bummer. 

I basically use the HX stomp for modulation and reverb / delays. Snapshots currently choose reverb / delay 1 / delay 2, and FS1-3 toggle modulations. I'm wondering if maybe I need to use the ex1 for use with the volume block.. however controlling it via CC works really well with this setup as I use EX1 and EX2 for other things. 

Thanks!

Off the top of my head, this should do what you need if you use the Stomp's EXP1/2 jack:

Global Settings > Preferences > Snapshot Edits > Recall

Global Settings > EXP Pedals > EXP 1 (or 2) Position > Preset (or Global? I don't have the Stomp hooked up at the moment)

 

I don't think it will work if you connect the expression pedal via Midi Baby. The Stomp would need to send MIDI CC back to Midi Baby first.

thanks lou-kash, I've got it working now using EX1 as you suggest.. perhaps it's not going to be possible using the midi baby as you say, unless I can get the midi baby to continually send CC data from the expression pedal.. sounds like I might just have to rewire this so EX1 controls the volume pedal block. I appreciate your reply.

I remember reading something on the Disaster Area website that the device would need to receive the CC data. I don't know if it's even possible. Although, now that with v3 the Stomp can send MIDI data, who knows…

 

For what it's worth, I have the DMC.micro which also has an EXP jack, but I found it doesn't work well with my modified (let alone UNmodified, for that matter!) Roland EV-5; see photo. Hence I'm using the EXP input of the DMC.micro with an external tap footswitch instead.
