I’ve had my dwarf for a long time and I’m just really frustrated. It really makes me feel kind of stupid.
I have a pedalboard set up.
I have four snapshots. (1.Intro 2.Ambient 3.Rhythm, 4.Solo)
I need to switch in the following order
1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3
Currently I have only been able to assign the snapshots to a single button that just rotates 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, etc. The only way I have figured out how to do this is to make 7 snapshots and try and remember what changes I may have made each time I modify one.
I see everyone else talk about stuff that is so much more advanced, I’m intimidated and feel stupid. lol
Is there a better explanation of snapshots, assigning buttons, etc? I found a wiki that has enough to get them assigned as they are now, but it’s really unusable for the one purpose I bought it for.
Hi
Snapshots can be triggered by midi, so I think the best way to do it is to put your sequence (1,2,3,4,3,4,3) in a midi sequencer plugin.
Then you have to enable the midi loopback and connect the midi out of this plugin to the midi loopback output (to send the midi messages back to the Dwarf)
But I’ve never used this kind of plugins… Maybe someone could try this ?
And you’re not stupid ! ModOS is a beauty that allow users to make pedalboards like programming, so there is always a solution, but it may require more than a single brain to find the right solution to this kind of puzzle !
which trigger do you use?
some footswitches allow step programming. pacer for example. But I‘m thinking of how to do this internally in thed Dwarf. maybe via CV and vlues instead of snapshots
I have never used those plugins, too, but I think that triggering a new snapshot would also reset the sequencer to the first event… I think the sequencer (or the controller) has to be external to the dwarf
Since @Will is only needing 4 snapshots a cheap m-wave chocolate midi would do the job
Basically, once you load a pedalboard, instead of pushing footswitchs B and C to enter in Control mode, you just press footswitch A and you’ll see the snapshots you defined for that pedalboard. Than you can use footswitch B or C to recall the snapshots.
That works well if your snapshots are ordered, as in your scenario. If snapshots are mixed up, you need to recall them specifically by using midi.
