strymon sunset HX Stomp XL midi Program Change

[keg1029]

I’m trying to program a foot switch to turn a Sunset preset on and off. The command center Bank/Program will engage the preset but not turn it off. I can do this through snap shots but not stomp mode. How can I do this? I’d like to use a different switch for different sunset sounds.

I don’t understand what you’re getting at. Perhaps it’s just terminology. Is ‘Sunset’ the name of a preset, an FX block, or something else?
 

You talk about turning a preset on and off. That’s confusing. At all times there is exactly one preset that is active (don’t think of it as being ‘on’). The active preset is replaced by a different preset (not ‘turned off’) when you activate/select a different preset.

 

You can turn FX blocks within a preset on and off. You don’t turn presets on and off; you activate/select them.  There is always exactly one preset active at all times.

There is no unloading presets. You can load presets via MIDI PC messages and switch bypass A, B or A+B via MIDI CC messages. Read the Sunset's manual to find out more.

You can of course create a preset on the Sunset where A and B are bypassed and load that preset to turn the Sunset "off".

Sunset is an external overdrive pedal by Strymon. I have ten different OD voicing presets saved in the pedal. I want to press stomp xl foot switch to turn the desired preset on then press that same switch to turn it off.

Yes, I did experiment with both of these options, however this uses two switches instead of one. I wanted toggle for program changes.

You can use snapshots for this. Toggle or step through snapshots in Stomp Mode by assigning a snapshot command to a footswitch in Command Center.

If the Sunset is in an FX Loop and all you want to do is Bypass it without using the Sunset's internal Bypass functions just Toggle the FX Loop ON/OFF.

Maybe we're not clear on exactly what you want to do?
