It would be nice if you can save or call up pedal boards as a file individually. The file names are displayed in a list.
Possibility to create subdirectories, filters and sort function, mark individually or as a group.
The file manager would probably be a suitable place for operation.
However, the files themselves would probably have to be stored outside the MOD hardware. (Storage capacity!)
Yes, SysEx messages transfer the entire “state” of a hardware through a MIDI file. Therefore, there could be some way to “edit” the file in the computer – without the MOD plugged to it – and then load it to the MOD.
Not sure this is exactly what you asked, but considering that
I thought a SysEx file would be the appropriate way to transfer that info. Unless MOD connection is not a problem.
Sorry if I confused you. Maybe I didn’t properly understand what you wanted?
Maybe it’s a misunderstanding.
I meant the names of the pedal boards as a list that can be edited with filter, sort and mark functions.
Pwedal board can then be loaded into the dwarf from this list.
The data of the respective pedal board is saved on the connected computer.
I read somewhere that this is a text file.
If you mentioned such data as SysEx data than you are right.
Ok, thanks for clarifying further. I am not sure this requires SysEx.
If the file structure is a single TXT file than can be manipulated externally, then no SysEx required. Now, whether this file can be edited externally and not create a permission conflict inside the MOD is a question for the OS folks there.
Your request is a good one, let’s see what they say.
I would say that no. Maybe I’m wrong, but if the pedalboard has some plugins that don’t come installed by default that would be problematic on a SysEx usage.
Ok. Now I was the one getting confused. Your request is basically to have a file that is your pedalboard and you can take it out or put it back on the device, right @Sharry? I personally quite enjoy that idea, it would allow you to have the device “clean”, but not lose those pedalboards that are “just not for now”, although they are good.
As a matter of fact, I actually don’t know what file system is used for storing the pedalboards in the device.
Thank you!
Actually, there must be such a similar function. You can save individual pedalboards to an Internet page and load them back individually into Dwarf. You could do it in a similar way, just upload and download to a directory on the PC defined in WebGui. The comfort functions such as sorting, grouping, filtering, etc. can be done on the PC (e.g. Explorer).
It shouldn’t be hard indeed.
I believe that you can even ssh into the device to do it already. Yet it requires more technical skills that not everyone wants to get into.
No no, I leave that to the youth
Among other things, I also i did programming, first assembler, later procedurally oriented high-level languages (Fortran77), then database systems (dBase, Clipper, Access) and finally for Software for control systems of large industrial plants including their commissioning.
I don’t want to have a deeper relationship with project oriented programming, OS like Linux , Dsp, SFTP etc. anymore. I’m way too far away from that.
Well then I hope that this will motivate someone to write these 2 lines and integrate them into the system.
I myself can’t do anything with @Falk’s link to the recipe.
