Thanks, Iāll check that āprogram change Aā and that wiki page
True and indeed, that was never the plan.
Thanks to the new Portal however, fitting some sounds in one board and switching snapshots might be everything I need per SHOW.
(one board for singer/songwriter showand one board for the āHeavy metal Thrashā show)
alternative scenario is switching a 2 or 4 way switch plugin but snapshots is my #1 prio now
I donāt think you can choose the channel with Program Change A. I think you have to set Snapshot PC-channel to 1.
They call the snapshots according to their position in the list, using their index. Youāll be able to see that behavior once you set the right channel.
setting the pc snaptshot channel in the Dwarf settings to 1 didnāt help.
tried a fews things with different channel settings in Dwarf settings menu , with usb to pc connected and disconnected, rebooted device etc
Still got the feeling Iām forgetting somethingā¦
This means that if PC 1 is issued, the first pedalboard will be loaded, if PC 2 is received the second pedalboard will be loaded
I think your PC messages need to have values 1 (first snap) or 2 (second snap). It might be that youāre sending value 0 which is ignored and value 1 which is your presumably already loaded first snapshot. Try selecting the second snapshot in the web UI and then sending MIDI messages to see if it changes. ā¦or add a third snapshot and selecting that first to see if thereās a āoff-by-oneā thing happening. Your screenshot above implies channel 0, but IIRC MOD maps 0 - 15 to 1 - 16 in the settings?
I just dug my MIDI controller out of storage so I can try a little later if needed to help confirm.
Yes, MIDI display shows channel 0 when I send a PC message from the Chocolate. But it works when I set Snapshot PC-channel to 1 in the Dwarf.
The same for PC messages. Footswitch A on the Chocolate shows 0 in MIDI display. But it selects the 1st snapshot on the list. The good old IT indexing way.
@LievenDV
I just made some tests and it works on my side so make sure you set Snapshot PC-channel to 1 again and that you have several snapshots on the pedalboard. Use MIDI display to troubleshoot.
Maybe I did. Try to reboot the Dwarf after setting the channel, who knows.
Hi there
Dwarf newbie here from Italy, just bought it two monthes ago and having fun since then with this brilliant piece ok kit. Already owning Hotone Ampero and Headrush Pedalboard and having all my needs covered by both of them but I was searching for a not mainstream device and the dwarf came along.
As a guitar player playing and gigging in a local pop-rock tribute band, my chain is AMT Bulava (for a analog flavour starting ponit tone) ā Digitech Digidelay (set it up just for thickening the solos) ā Dwarf (for multif fx+IR) ā FOH
Going to the point
Just bought the Chocolate to expand the switches flexibilites. The idea is to connect the C USB to the to the Dwarfās A one as some of you already mentioned it on this chat but Iāve no clue how
Is there a special USB cable having A and C plug ends? Do I need a USB hub? Or what else?
Sorry if the question could look stupid but Iāve really no experience
Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance
Yes itās a standard usb A to usb C cable.I think itās in the Chocokate box.
In Italian
Si ĆØ un normalissimo cavo da usb A a usb C dovrebbe essre compreso nella confezione del chocolate, comunque lo trovi in tutti i negozi.
A me il pedale dovrebbe arrivare oggi o domani
My Chocolate came with such a cable.
I had no issues connecting it, downloading an app to my iPhone and making sure they could communicate. I was a little confused on MIDI channels / data worked but once you decide how it should operate and you find out for that specfiic use case, the connections and operations are smooth
Ciao Rino
nella confezione del Chocolate che ho ricevuto oggi, lāunico cavo incluso ha connessione USB per PC su unāestremitĆ e tipo C sullāaltra. Comunque grazie 1000, lo cerco in negozio
In my Chocolateās package thereās only the standard PC type USB plug to C plug ends kind of cable. Anyway thanks a lot for the prompt answers!
This is how my setup looks like, using the provided cable that came with the Chocolate.
I use an app (voa bluetooth) to do the settings on the Chocolate
I mage the Dwarf via my windows pc; connected with the usb B (square) to usb A (pc) cable MOD provided with my Dwarf
Ah! Thank you Lieven and Bleo, very supportive
Not having the Dwarf with me right now, my memory suggested it has kind of A type of USB port but I was wrong
Good news then, you make me saving few bucks!
Like Lieven, my goal is to control 4 to 6 snapshots by the Chocolate, leaving the dwarf in the tuner/tap tempo mode. Frankly I donāt know if it is possible but Iāll check it out next days
It has a USB A port indeed, as well as a B. The A is the one you use to connect the Chocolate (with the supplied cable) or a USB hub. The B is for the connection to the computer. https://wiki.mod.audio/wiki/Dwarf_Technical_Specs#USB
You can actually browse more than 4 snapshots with your current setting. On the Chocolate, press F (C+D) to access the next bank of 4 buttons and E (A+B) to go to the previous one.
So:
connected the Dwarf and Chocolate by usb cable provided by M-Vave
set Dwarf settingsā>midiā>PC snapshots channel 1
installed the Chocolate app using the QR printed on the deviceās back
opened the app, verified that the pedalboard was using the same channel 1 (it already was) and set on Program Change A
et voilĆ , it started working flawlessly! 1A recall snapshot n. 1 on the specific pedalboardās snapshot list, 2B ss n. 2, 2A ss n. 5 and so on
Awesome! Now I can gigginā with it
Thank you guys
