Re: Mapping effects sends for fun and profit

2012-06-16 by steve_the_composer

I just did a simple FX preset template. Having the cords set up like you suggest is indeed fun! I used knobs IJKL for FXA an MNOP for FXB.

Let me add a few tweaks and variations to your excellent suggestion. (I look forward to see variations from others as well.)

1. For the knobs to go from 0 to full [whether its +100 or something lower], I set the FXA/FXB sends to 0%. Baseline FX can be achieved with small values with the FXA/FXB SEND AMOUNTS parameters. I also set the Initial Controller Amount to 000 so I have a consistent starting point.

2. To have FX be subtractive when turning knobs clockwise, I set the patchcord baseline send amount to 100% and the patchcord amount to -100.

Fun stuff for sure!! (Gonna fiddle some more with the corded FX presets.) Thanks for starting the thread.
