Control Switcher with GCX with Mesa Mark IV and GCP

Currently trying to program my Ground Control Pro with my rack mounted Mesa Mark IV and GCX audio switcher. Im having difficulties setting the bottom 4 buttons on the Ground Control Pro for channel changing the Mesa. I have a voodoo lab control switcher plugged into the 1/4 channel outputs of the Mesa running midi into the GCX audio switcher. I use the top 8 for a different arrangement of stomp boxes running in the GCX.

From what i understand the control switcher acts as a "second gcx" when programming but i seem to be stuck.
Could anyone help with suggestions on how to program the channel changing with this set up?

Thanks

Have you enabled GCX#2 within the Ground Control Pro? If so, when you are editing a Ground Control Pro preset you will see the GCX#2 screen... when you are on this screen you will be able to use Instant Access buttons 1-4 to select the correct Control Switcher "loops" then save the preset.

Let us know if you get stuck!

Hi houston1!

Im not sure if this is for any help but any way!
Back of your Mark V you you use the external switching for channel 2 and 3 to the GCXS's Out puts.

Check 3channel amp switching sheet.

Thats how I switch my 3channel Recto.
Then you hit IA 2-8 on your GCP and select like 7 to control number 7 on your GCXS. save!

Then you select bank 1 (GCP) "heavy" and your 2-8 presets that you wanna run.
Like bank 1 with 2,3 and 8 on your GCP hit edit save Y
example: bank 1 with 2-BossNS, 3Overdrive-pedal, 8Channel 3 on your Mark V.

Regards Chris!
