controllers Multiple parameters on a single controller?

[ddejohn]

Tried searching, but new to the forum and couldn't find what I was looking for. I want to morph between two instances of the same reverb effect by controlling multiple parameters (decay, room size, mix, etc) but I can't figure out how or if it's possible.

 

For example, suppose I want a 3s decay, 10m room size, and 20% mix at toe-down of an EXP pedal and infinite decay, 30m room size, and 70% mix at the toe-up position. Is this possible?

 

EDIT: my bad, I figured it out almost immediately after posting this, and by accident. The lack of any sort of confirmation or "saving" makes it seem as if when changing the parameter with knob 1, you're only able to control one at a time. I didn't realize that the settings I made for one parameter were remembered if I switched to a new parameter.

 

For anybody coming here from a web search, simply set a given parameter with which ever controller and values you want, then using knob 1, switch to a new parameter and repeat, for as many parameters as desired.

 

In the future, I hope the UI has some sort of feedback mechanism for when the user makes changes like this because right now it feels like things don't "save" when you fiddle with parameters unless you go and actually use the save function for the entire preset.

I’m not sure how important the morphing is, but if you want instantaneous changes you should consider using snapshots. I think it would be easier and simpler.

Thanks, I actually do want the smooth transition, as I can dial in any amount of space I want. However, I am still interested in using snapshots as well. Is there a ramp/transition time parameter using snapshots?

No. Changes are always instant. You'd need a Slew Limiter for stuff like that, but there is not.

If you want one Reverb to fade out and the other one to fade in, then you can assign the mix parameter to the expression pedal: on one block it's positive, the other it's negative.  In HX Edit, you can right-click on the mix parameter of each block and assign a controller for it -- in your case the expression pedal.  Heel position one reverb is mixed at 70 percent, the other mixed at 0; and toe position the first block is mixed at 0, while the other one is mixed at 70 percent...  As you rock the pedal, it will morph between 2 reverbs.

 

With effects like reverb or delay or even wah-wah you can use the mix parameter to effectively bypass the effect entirely.  I have a bloated preset where multiple things are controlled by the same EXP 2, but in some snapshots some blocks are set at mix = 0, making them bypassed.
