There is a simple pedalboard that exemplifies the usage PM: Sample tetr4 switch - MOD Audio

Having just tried it out, I think this is a wonderful piece of work - particularly the way you get the UI to represent the exclusivity of the presets and to show the 10/0 states of the 4 toggles.
Am wondering though, would it be possible to add a single midi output port - which could (at the simplest level) just also send out 4 midi cc messages, whenever a preset is triggered? e.g for 10v,0v,10v,10v
CC1 127
CC2 0
CC3 127
CC4 127
This way they could be routed through the MIDI-loopback port and control the states various other plugins on the pedal board
My own particular use case is using the alo-looper where I will sometimes have 4 loops playing at particular times. For purposes of song dynamics I’d love to be able to just be able to turn off everything , then bring back percussion, then bass, then pads etc. (a version of The Human League’s “Love Action” is particularly the song I want to try this with)
Still - its a fabulous UI

Hello, @steve, thanks for your feedback. The layout was inspired by Pedrone’s Penta-5witch
The footswitch led I am not sure where I got the inspiration, maybe a Boss multieffect, maybe the Ampero:

Your idea integration with a Midi is awesome.
Unfortunately, due time and knowledge, the MIDI integration with my plugin isn’t in my plans. But if there is someone who would like to push a pull request, I’ll appreciate.
By the way, I am quite sure that it is possible integrate Tetr4 switch with other plugins to do what you want. Maybe using MIDI Note Toggle - MOD Audio or maybe MIDI File - MOD Audio you can use the CV from Tetr4 switch for on some of these plugins and they send your required message…

Pretty incredible you have merged these two UIs into such a useful plugin.
Anyway, sometime, maybe next week, I will see if I can add the extra midi functionality. I know how to generate midi events in c/lv2, but one thing I have never got my head round is makefiles and build scripts. Anyway, I will give it a go.

I think I have it working now
In the image attached - Tetr4 switch now has a midi output port - that is being fed to the midi loopback - and the ALO looper, previously configured using midi channel 10 (or 9 if zero indexed) with CC 50/51/52/53 - follows the state of the preset.
For this to work I had to add the extra params CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4, Channel, and ChangesOnly (to choose whether you want all 4 midi cc commands to be sent, or just the ones which have changed)
Unfortunately, I have not yet progressed to the ModUI aspect, so those things have to be set via the default UI.
The midi display tool can only display the last cc command in the sequence - so in each preset, it is showing the toggle value of the 4th config button
Am happy to push if you want to incorporate this

Hey @SrMouraSilva,
Although I’m not seeing you active in the forum for a while, I hope that you are still around, creating great things and interested in creating those as well on the MOD platform. Just like you did with the Tetr4 Switch…and it’s not only me saying it, but also the users who voted for the plugins that they would mostly want to see moving from the beta to the stable store - you win the “CV plugin award” 
since the Tetr4 is the first CV plugin appearing on the list.
With that said, there are some materials and info that should be collected and organized before we can make the step further. I took some notes of that and here they are:
On device testing:
It would be great to collect some user reports on the plugin. On which device have you used it? Did you face any crashes or issues? It would be great to collect feedback from MOD Dwarf, MOD Duo X and MOD Duo users.
Documentation:
This could be an hard to get plugin. It already has a pretty good explanation from @SrMouraSilva above in this thread, but a pdf with that in-depth explanation and a few use-cases would be great to add to the Plugin Info page.
Presets:
I’m not sure if plugin presets really make sense on this one. What do you think @SrMouraSilva ?

Oi João @jon. Bom dia
you win the “CV plugin award”
I am surprise to won this award. Mainly because is quite rare to I use this plugin and my favorite self developed plugin is the Gossiper

A curiosity: I have already thought to develop an 7-switch alternative. It would like to be interesting to ask how the audience is using this plugin. Is this 4 foots sufficient?
Something that I know that is important and it does not have is a way to change the preset names (footswitch names). I am experiencing some problems to connect from a laptop to my dwarf. When it would be feasible, I would like to improve this.

It would be easier if we use Claude to translate the tone from “informal forum language” to “formal documentation language”. Unfortunately we will lose the animated gifs and youtube video resources.

I suppose it does not make sense. This plugin uses a custom internal preset concept and I have already created the required presets (see Tetr4 Switch - Plugin in Beta Store - #14 by SrMouraSilva post). But it would be great to ask the users to make sure.

Olá Paulo,
Yeah…sometimes things are like that. I can tell you that the Gossiper also ranks quite high on the list…close even…but Tetr4 comes before.
You can DM me and I can see if it’s possible to help you 
100% agree with you. That’s exactly my idea.
Regarding those losses, we don’t need to take what Claude gives us as the final thing; we can edit a little bit and add those references…and now that I’m thinking about that, is it possible to have gifs in pdfs?
As a utility plugin, it likely doesn’t. But maybe we should leave the plugin preset feature, it may be useful for user presets…or not?
