The Bank Up/Down buttons change the preset bank on the Ground Control Pro to the next set of 4 preset buttons. No change will occur on the SansAmp until you press a Ground Control Pro preset button within the new bank.


Is it possible to configure the Bank Up/Down to sroll the presets normaly like
01,02,03,04,05,06,07,.... ?

Or just 4 on 4?

Because in the groundcontrol the changes in bank up/down is going 10 on 10. But not in the Sansamp. and when I hit the 4 buttons on ground control the changes are comming.
But is a little bit confusing the changes. I think that in a live situation this will * me up haha :/

I´ll try to explain better.

What i want is:

when i hit 1,2,3 or 4 buttons I could scroll the bank up/down to (1,2,3,4,5,6,7...) And not going 4 on 4 or 10 on 10 in the sansamp.

You will need to choose if you want the Ground Control Pro to be set to 10 Presets per Bank or 4 Presets per Bank.
In 10 Presets per Bank mode your presets will be represented by the small numbers on the Ground Control Pro starting at the top with button 1 through to button 0 on the bottom row. In this mode the Data +/- buttons step up and down through the presets one at a time.
In 4 Presets per Bank mode your presets are represented by the large numbers on the bottom row of the Ground Control Pro. The upper two rows of buttons then become Instant Access buttons for direct control of effect bypass, tap tempo, channel switching... all depending on the capabilities of the gear being controlled.

Any Ground Control Pro preset is programmable for the patch it is recalling on your SansAmp. If a Ground Control Pro button is not recalling the patch you want it to, then it is up to you to re-program it to do so... here is how...

1. Call up any Ground Control Pro preset you need to edit.
2. Press and hold the Edit button. Release it once the screen changes.
3. Your named MIDI devices show up first with the patch number that will be recalled displayed on the far right. Using the smaller numbered buttons, type the patch number you wish to be recalled.
4. Press the Bank Down button repeatedly until the screen reads GCX-1. At this screen the upper two rows of buttons set the state of the GCX loops. Press any buttons for the loops that should be active for this preset.
5. Press the Bank Down button, with each press you will see various options you may have enabled as well as a screen to name the current preset.
6. When you are done editing anything within the preset you may press the Edit button to exit and then the Yes button to save.

I hope this helps to clear things up for you.

I think I had made something wrong here.

When I hit the 1 buttom (on the 1,2,3,4) the 1 buttom in the 8 loop is rising.

But only when I hit 1... If i hit 2,3 or 4. Nothing happens.
How do I correct this? To when I hit buttom 1, the 1 buttom loop don't rise?

Thank you for your great support.

The steps outlined in my previous post allow you to configure the preset to your liking. Step #4 is where you set which GCX loops turn on or off with the Ground Control Pro preset.
