Pedal inputs to turn on/off GCX loops?
Posted: Wed May 31, 2017 12:57 pm
I know I can setup any of the instant access buttons to turn on/off GCX loops, but can it be done via an expression pedal input?
My logic is this...If I had a wah in loop 1 (like the Crybaby rack wah), and a controller on the floor next to my GCP, it would be nice to click a toe button on the controller pedal for activating the wah loop on the GCX, wah all I want, and when done, tap the toe switch again and turn the wah off. It eliminates a bit of tap-dancing.
Alternatively, I see I can send MIDI control to the GCX (page 14 of the GCX manual). One bit of clarification though, the manual states that the GCX listens on MIDI channel 16. But uh....What if there is more than one GCX? How can I send a control change to say loop 1 of GCX 2?
Thanks!
