Jaicen Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Does anyone know if it's possible to customise the SID firmware to allow direct access to presets arranged in banks??I want to select a bank using the menu encoder, and then have direct access to 4 presets within that bank from four individual large footswitches. I could live with having a pair of bank up/down switches, but the menu encoder seems like the easiest option. Anybody care to comment?

ris8_allo_zen0 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Maybe connecting the footswitches to DINs, then write a small function that sends a program change to the firmware itself? (using USER_MPROC_NotifyReceivedEvent...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therezin Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 The programming side of things I have no idea of, but as for having an encoder or buttons for bank up/down, i'd recommend a pair of buttons if it's going to be on the floor - it means you don't have to bend down to the floor to change your presets when you're playing live.

Wilba Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Interesting idea, Jaicen...It's not that hard to code... but I'm not sure exactly how you define a "bank" or "preset".MB-SID v1 can store 128 patches in a "BankStick", and you can have multiple "BankSticks" which you can switch between.It's pretty easy to have four switches change the current patch to #1 through #4... and then another pair of switches to shift the "bank of four" i.e. the four switch assignments become patch #5 to #8, #9 to 12, etc. Then you just organise your patches on that BankStick into groups of four.
