Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
Last week I bought a Gordius Little Giant 2.
To me that is the best controller for 11R (or any other fx) Totally programmable. Not to big, very good build quality and a very, very good customer support. (I mean really good!) Also the manual is very good. (with examples on how to program it) and there is a pc editor. I was told that the mac editor is on it's way. bottomline: small company -> great service + great product. |

Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
Hi Guys,
I'm a new 11R owner and I have been unable to set up my (Ancient, first edition) Ground Control pedal to control my 11R. The issue is this: in the GC you have to enter Numerical values only for program/preset locations and the 11R uses an Alpha-Numeric system to label the rigs/presets. (A1, etc) So how do I assign strictly numerical values to the rig presets? The manual lists all the CC numbers bit totally omits this essential info for presets changes. Do I have to manually convert them so that a1 = 01 a2 = 02 etc? I have written to Voodoo Labs to see if there is a software update available for the pedal that may remedy this situation but haven't heard back yet. In any event, there must be some sort of numeric system to change rigs. Ground Control to Major Tom....Any help would be most appreciated! Cheers, JD |

Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
I believe the 11R presets uses Program Change messages, as opposed to CC messages. Try something like A1 = PC 01, A2 = PC 02, etc.. So as long as your Ground Control can send the program change messages, you should be all good.

Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
The 11R uses both, I just don't know how to access the program change commands. I'll try doing the conversions and see if that works, but it seems like a glaring omission from the manual, which I find to be poorly written & organized to begin with.

Assigning MIDI Program Changes ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ Use the [SELECT] buttons to choose each of your MIDI controlled devices. You will see the names of each device that you entered in Setup mode. It will look something like: TRIAXIS - 18 ↑↑ Device Name Program Number Now enter the number of the program you want for each device. You can access any program from 0 to 128. For example: Notice that there is a slight delay when you select programs 10, 11, or 12. This is because the Ground Control is waiting for a third digit in case you wanted programs 100 through 128. Note: The Ground Control automatically filters redundant program changes when Presets are recalled, to avoid audible glitches. You can also instruct the Ground Control to not send a MIDI Program Change. How you do this depends on whether your device numbers programs from 0 to 127, or from 1 to 128 (see "Start Number" on page 11). To not send a MIDI Program Change, do one of the following: • If the device starts at 1, then choose program 0 by pressing [0] [0]. • If the device starts at 0, then choose program 128 by pressing [1] [2] [8]. When no program is selected, the display will show "--" instead of a program number. hope that helps.

Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
Thanks Madgt, Unfortunately, I have to tell the ground control which program/patch/preset I want it to select when I'm setting up a preset on the footswitch. I may want preset Y3 on the 11 but the GC only accepts numbers. I'm gonna work with it tonight and see if I can figure it out.
Cheers! |

You can use a simple math to figure out the PC of the corresponding preset. Here's the equation i use: ((µ) x 4) - (Ω) = PC# (greek letters are variables) µ = the number of the letter of the preset according to a 26 letter english alphabet. i.e. A=1, B=2, C=3, J= 10, T=20, Z=26, etc. Ω = a number corresponding to the number of the preset name. (1-4) i.e. 1=(3), 2=(2), 3=(1), 4=(0). so if you are trying to figure the PC# for the preset that is "Y3", it goes like this: "Y" is the 25th letter in the alphabet, so in this case, "µ" = 25. since the number in the preset name is "3", "Ω" = "1" now the equation looks like this: (25 x 4) - 1 = PC# in this case, the PC#="99". Put down PC 99 in your GCP and when you press that GCP patch, it will call up "Y3" It's really easier than it looks. Trust me. No need to have it all mapped out for you.

That is indeed the way it works, I finally got it to send the correct program changes, but I'm going to end up buying the Ground Control Pro or something else more advanced b/c the old GC can't command the individual effects within a rig even with the $100.00 upgrade they have for that pedal. Craigslist, here I come! |

Recently I managed to use an old Digitech RP-10 effects pedal as a midi foot controller for Eleven Rack. I bought that pedal in 97. I'm amazed how MIDI interfaces survived for such a long time!
