ground control with gcx and control switcher

Post by Trex »

Hi.I have a question. If I've used all my loops on gcx and now want to add the new control switcher into the mix. I want to be able to use two of my buttons on my ground control to switch my amps drives on and off. I know that you would need to treat the switcher as a gcx 2 bbut my question is how do u route it as a midi. In other words my gcx only has a midi out and tthats going into my ground control

Please help


Thanks

The MIDI routing should run from the Ground Control Pro MIDI Out to the Pedal In on the GCX, then from the GCX MIDI Out to the MIDI In on the Control Switcher.
There is no need to return back to the MIDI In on the Ground Control Pro and in fact doing so in this case will likely cause a MIDI Loop that will have random (usually not good) results.

I hope that helps!
