Can you program your midi switcher so that one push of a button would change the pattern to the next pattern that is currently playing? Another button to change the pattern to previous pattern?
I know you can use program change to change patterns, but you need to assign a button to specific program to a specific pattern. This would not do.
There’s no specific midi message for pattern increment / decrement.
You’d need a midi processor with variables.
I think it’s doable with Retrokits RK002.
It would need to receive the current Prog Change, and then it would be able to send this value +1 or -1.
But with something like MIDI MOUSE, you can do it setting manually the first pattern.
Yes, I noticed that the other day. I have a Master Control controlling a Node switcher and I love it. Super solid clock and really easy to use.
I also have their Midi Delaytion which converts midi to a tap signal for a Boss DD7 and the Osmosis Midi mapping filter.
Not sure what is going on with them, almost all product is discontinued without any notice.
I had actually just sent an email asking about a stereo Node, or if I could use 2 together to that effect.
I haven’t heard back yet but I’ll come back and let you know here if I learn anything.
You can still find lots of MV pedals used on Reverb, in fact maybe even more than I would consider normal for such a niche line of pedals.
