Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
Quote:
MIDI program change messages (PC) are used to select patches on a device. There are 128 slows available, running from PC0-PC127. In the ElevenRack, your "logical" view of patches is in banks of 4. A1 = PC0 A2 = PC1 A3 = PC2 A4 = PC3 B1 = PC4 etc.. In the mastermind, your "logical" view is banks of 5 1.1 = PC0 1.2 = PC1 1.3 = PC2 1.4 = PC3 1.5 = PC4 2.1 = PC5 etc.. Expressing the ElevenRack banks as PC: [bank letter] = A=0, B=1, C=2 etc... [bank slot] = 1 to 4 PC = [bank letter] * 4 + [bank slot] -1 e.g. B4 - [1] * 4 + [4] - 1 = PC7 Expressing mastermind banks as PC [bank] = 0 to 24 [bank slot] = 1 to 5 PC = [bank letter] * 5 + [bank slot] -1 e.g. 2.3 - [1] * 5 + [3] - 1 = PC7 Your PC choices on the Mastermind run from 0-124 (5 banks of 25). Using the formula above you can figure out which Mastermind patch maps to which ElevenRack preset. IMO the easiest way is to disregard the "banks" on the 11R and just treat it as patches in banks of 5, as mapped to your mastermind. |

Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
I've also got a Tonelab SE and an 11R. Might try using both together & getting the pedals to work sometime next week.

Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
The Tonelab HAS an expression pedal built in. I have the up and down banks working along with selecting presets in each bank- now i'd like to get the pedal on the Tonlab to send volume or Wah ( preferrably both) to the 11R via MIDI. Volume is the # 1 issue. anyone have experience with this - i'd really appreciate it. I am hesitant to buy another foot control until I am certain this interface can't be done. For the life of me, I can't understand WHY Avid hasn't built a purpose-built foot controller for this thing. an $ 800 amp modeler and you have to use 3-rd party stuff for live use? this is really kind of crazy. I bet there are thousands of people out there that would buy a foot controller that allowed you to just "plug and play" and control all parameters of the 11r- would make it so much more usable. I am aplyer first- not a midi technician and I really don't want to spend a tome of time on this- but like I said, anyone who has some serious midi skills and can walk me through this- I'd appreciate the help!
Thanks, Will |

Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
Will, see pages 60 and 61 of the Tonelab SE manual for information on how to configure the controllers to send MIDI. Also, look in the 11R manual for the controller numbers to use for wah or volume.

Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
I have.... Like I stated, I am not a MIDI expert and it's like reading chinese. If someone knows what screens to access, and can walk through a step -by -step process, that would be most helpful.

Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
Thanks Tech support, you are absolutely right, no offence to the moderator but I bought the Behringer FCB1010 over 6 months ago and is to date the worst midi nightmare of my life. 1) there is a recall on the eprom, 2) whatever you figure out and try to save you loose and soon as you power down, (expression pedal wise). 3) You can buy an aftermarket UNO eprom which in my case made matters worse, by the time I almost got it to work I had to stop to learn how to play guitar again, pun intended. 4) Eurekaprom has the answer but has no phone number so you are at the mercy of paypal or google wallet. I've tried 15 times to purchase but they must use a behringer phone controller. Don't believe me. Research outside outside of this forum. By the way, you are all invited to a bonfire party at my house and because of the ground control and mission controllers the 11 rack is not invited.

$699 for each is still $1400 versus $2200 for the AXE-FX. I may PM you with some questions, but I am also wondering about going AES connections if they sit side by side in the rack. I'm going to try the Line 6 foot controller with one ethernet cable to the HD500 that will send MIDI to the 11R. I'm hoping that will work with one cable on the floor to the rack. |

Re: Best foot controller for use with Eleven Rack?
I went for the GCP from Sweetwater...love those guys!
So, I ended up getting the HD Pro to add extra effects to the 11R. I tried running some sounds on its own plugged into the HD Pro and struggled. I set up my Send/Return chain from the 11R into the HD Pro and it made the HD Pro come alive. 11R is an excellent high-end processor. I'm convinced. Wow. I have the GCP controlling both units no problem on independent MIDI channels and MIDI Omni but will need to keep them separate for the GCP foot switches. So far this has been an excellent theory that panned out nicely. I get extra delays, I get the whammy, and I get the Octo Reverb (Verbzilla) to make The Edge type shimmers. Awesome. |
