You're going to be spending at least $350 for a foot controller than can handle control changes. For the amount of effects and channel switching I do, program changes are all I need. If I want to add chorus to an existing sound, I just make a new patch for it. If I ever need a lot of different patches for a song, I'll put them all in one bank.

Yeah, I mean my Behringer can handle it, but the build quality is deffo nothing to write home about.

Problem is, most of the boards I see have seperate modes for using control changes. All I want is pretty much the same functionality as my FCB1010, but without the crappy build quality

I think the main reason is for when we are rehearsing/song writing and jamming on a section, if I feel in the mood for adding, I dunno, Phaser or whatever, then I can just whack it on, rather than having to stop, click it, get the right effect and go.

Funny thing is, when rehearsing or jamming, I just throw some pedals on the floor. All the MIDI control is for my live rig, just because it makes everything straight forward and reliable.

[stuh84]

Sounds like a plan, I just like having my rehearsal rig exactly the same as the live rig. I'm gonna have to search out all midi floorboards I guess.....

Sexcellent fucking work, Dave. From pics, to tutorial, to setup. Nice job.

By the way noodles, sorry for de-railing the thread slightly, after a lot of looking at the manuals and things, I've decided on the Rocktron All Access. Bit pricy, but it has every feature I want and more. Thanks for the anecdotes and comments though, much appreciated, and I REALLY like this thread a lot, reminded me what I want to do with my rig.

Cool.

I need to get my rig and my life controled via MIDI.

[eaeolian]

Hey, that rig looks familiar. Nicely done.

I'll be coming back to this thread in the future

Rocktron MidiMate does CC changes. it's also one of the rare pedals that will do a "split" Program Change and CC mode, with 5 of the buttons doing Program Changes and the other 5 doing CCs. and used, they cost only ~$150 or so, or they did 8+ years ago when i bought mine. one drawback, they have rubber buttons that don't have a firm click like stomp switches. but definitely a controller to look into if you need CC changes.
