preset number only with no bank numbers, posible ?

Post by dropD »

Hi
I have defined the GCP to 4 preset / 8 cc.
When I switch over the 4 presets buttons, I get: 1, 2, 3, 4, then in the 2nd bank its 21, 22, 23, 24, then 31, 32, 33, 34 etc…
Is there a way to make it show 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13….etc ?
I'm working with an AXE-FX and not with a "bank" based multi Fx where there is a use for banks and presets.
I only need a preset number display
Thanks.

The number displayed on the left side is the Ground Control Pro preset location indicator and cannot be changed. Because the Ground Control Pro is a programmable footcontroller, it is necessary to have this indicator... for instance, Ground Control Pro preset 01 might be recalling patch number 1 on your device, but preset 02 may be recalling device patch number 76. This is further useful when you are controlling multiple MIDI devices (The Ground Control Pro can control up to eight MIDI devices at once) where each Ground Control Pro preset is sending each device to differing patch numbers.

For your situation where you are controlling a single MIDI device, if you absolutely must have the AxeFX patch number displayed on the Ground Control Pro screen you can include it in the user editable preset name on the Ground Control Pro... perhaps always off to the far right so as to avoid confusion while "in the heat of battle".

I hope that helps!
