How do I use the GCX and the pedalboard to control...

7 channels for stom pedals on/off and 1 channel to control the Sansamp PSa 1.1?


And how do i put name in the channels like

channel 1 - boss synth
channel 2 - octave
channel 3 - sansamp psa.1.1


?

Thanks for the attention

If you set the Ground Control Pro to 4 Presets per Bank mode, the upper eight buttons will directly control the loops on the GCX for simple on/off control. Only Ground control Pro presets are named within the Ground Control Pro. Have you connected any of your pedals to the GCX yet?

Sure. The 4 presets/bank I know how to do.
But to use both the on/off stomp boxes "system" and control de sansamp psa1...
This what I don´t know how to do

Ground Control Pro presets will recall the patches on the PSA-1.1. Check the Assigning MIDI Program Changes section of the Ground Control Pro manual under Edit Preset for complete programming instructions.

The MIDI connections will be as follows...

1. MIDI Out of the Ground Control Pro to the Pedal In on the GCX.
2. MIDI Out of the GCX to the MIDI In on the PSA 1.1.

Good Luck!

I´d tried here but the sansamp is switching like:
i hit the 4 bank buttom and sansamp goes to preset 70, when i hit the 3rd bank buttom, preset goes to7.
If i hit the 2 bank, the preset goes to 5.

What I´m doing wrong?

The Ground Control Pro presets are programmable... if they are not recalling the SansAmp patches that you want, you can program them to recall the correct patches. Check out the Assigning MIDI Program Changes in the Edit Preset section of the Ground Control Pro manual for instructions about how to program your Ground Control Pro presets.

Hi there.
I´m still stucked.
I´d read and read the manual of ground control and the sansamp but can solve this.

When i hit the 2, 3 or 4 (down on the ground contrl)
In the sansamp changes to 02,03,04 or when I hit twice, goes to preset 70.

And the banks up and down... nothing happens.

The loops system (for the stompboxes) works fine. But to control the sansamp.... :/

And I´m looking where in the manuals but, still stucked.
Any ideia where Im doing things wrong?

Thnak you for the attention

This is good... this means that everything is working and all that is left is to program the Ground Control Pro presets so they recall the patches you want.

This tells me that you have enabled the Global Preset within the Ground Control. To put it back to its default state of "Off" follow these steps on the Ground Control Pro:
1. Press both Setup buttons at the same time to enter Setup Mode.
2. Press the Utility button.
3. Press the Bank Down button twice... The screen should read "GBL PGM ON".
4. Press the No button... The screen should now read "GBL PGM OFF".
5. Press either one of the Setup buttons then press the Yes button to exit Setup Mode.

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.
