yep, that works...hahah i guess i just didnt understand it in the manual. i was under the impression that if you enabled the GCX as an expander, the IA buttons were directly mapped to the loops.

Thanks for your help!

so if i enable the GCX as an expander, i can send loop on offs with patch changes, without assigning them to IA...and i can mix and match? so have some of the loops enabled as IAs and some of them sent with the patches?

i was told in another thread that this wasnt possible, so i came up with another way to do it.

yea, but then i cant use the IA's for my TC G-force fx bypasses if i do that so basically, i have my loops like this. 1-6 pedals, 7 is recto recording preamp 8 triaxis. then on the gcp button 1 is loop 6 button 2 is delay on the gforce button 3 is verb on the gforce button 4 is chorus on the gforce ...

im running a GCP/GCX/G-force/Triaxis/tc nova drive. all i can say, is that make sure your midi chain makes sense. mine is as follows. midi out from the gcp --> gcx -->g-force -->triaxis -->nova make sure you are using the proper midi in/outs...and only use a through if your device doesnt have one. s...

So after finding out that the GCX didnt respond to program changes, i was a bit bummed, because i had wasted 5 of my IA buttons for FX bypass on my TC G-force, and to switch 2 pre-amps. only leaving me with 3 buttons left for GCX loops. after doing some research i found a product called Midi Event P...

i was also thinking of building something that sits between the GCP and GCX and intercepts and re-writes midi messages to make it do what i want. i guess ultimately i just need a more fully featured controller. unfortunatly its hard to plan these things when you sort of have to buy these products bl...

so would this work with another GCP?

that was basically the conclusion i had come to myself, i was hoping i was missng somthing.

thanks for confirming.

i'll probbaly try the 2 preamp, 1 loop option.

Feature requests...arbitray midi messages being sent with patch changes.

OR a smaller GCP pedal expander. or a larger one, GCP-P.

its not so much a problem with the GCX, but the GCP, can the GCP send arbitrary midi commands on preset changes? like midi #16, controller #86, Value 127?
