HX stomp XL and Friedman IR-X: using snapshot to switch channels

[vincentm77]

Hi everyone,

I want to use my HX Stomp XL (HXSXL) as an effects unit-only (no amp simulation) with a Friedman IR-X preamp.

Midi OUT of HXSXL is connected to MIDI IN of preamp.

Presets of the preamp are stored/recalled using MIDI PC 1, 2, 3 etc (which can be programmed using the Friedman editor)

I like to use 1 preset on the HXSXL with 4 snapshots, using snapshot mode

I would like e.g.

snapshot1 to turn a chorus effect on, on the clean channel of the preamp (MIDI PC 1)

snapshot2 to turn the same chorus, but with the distorted channel of the preamp (MIDI PC 2)

snapshot3 to turn the chorus off, with the distorted channel of the preamp and the boost turned on on the preamp (MIDI PC 3)

 

I just don’t understand how to do that…

Using the Command Center, I could assign a command to footswitch 5 (which normally turns snapshot1 on) : BankPC / Program 1

and the corresponding action for footswitch6 (snapshot2) and footswitch2 (snapshot3).

Is that the way to do it ? (unfortunately I don’t have my gear here so I cannot even try).

Basically all I want to do is use snapshot mode on the HXSXL, where each snapshot sends a controllable MIDI PC message to the Friedman.

 

or should I assign an “Instant command” to snapshot1 ? 

 

Any help much appreciated!

FS5 set to HX Snapshot PRESS/HOLD:

NOTE - I set this up on a regular old HXS, so I used FS3.

 

Snapshot 1 IC1 = Bank/Program Program = PC#1; FS5 = HX Snapshot PRESS/HOLD - PRESS = SS2; HOLD = SS3;

Snapshot 2 IC1 = Bank/Program Program = PC#2; FS5 = HX Snapshot PRESS/HOLD - PRESS = SS1; HOLD = SS3

Snapshot 3 IC1 = Bank/Program Program = PC#3; FS5 = HX Snapshot PRESS/HOLD - PRESS = SS1; HOLD = SS2

 

SAVE BOTH Snapshots 1&2 with Chorus ON. SAVE SS3 with Chorus OFF

 

When the HX Preset loads (SS1 SAVEd as default) PC#1 will be sent. Chorus is ON.

While on SS1, PRESS will change to SS2 and send PC#2. Chorus will be ON.

HOLD will change to SS3 and send PC#3. Chorus will be OFF.

 

On SS2, PRESS will change to SS1 and send PC#1. Chorus will be ON.

HOLD will change to SS3 and send PC#3. Chorus will be OFF.

 

On SS3, PRESS will change to SS1 and send PC#1. Chorus will be ON.

HOLD will change to SS2 and send PC#2. Chorus will be ON.

 

I've attached an example preset.
