Use one footswitch to switch an external pedal on and off

Using MOD devices Usage Questions
#1

Hello community,

I am currently trying to program my Dwarf as a MIDI controller for my Ampero Stomp. Now I have the following problem: I want to switch individual effects from the stomp on and off . I want to do this with the same foot switch from the Dwarf. I use Infamous Mindi for this. For example, CC50 and Value 127 switch the boost on and CC50 and Value 0 switch the boos off. How can I assign these two settings to one single Dwarf footswitch? It doesn’t work with snapshots either, as I have other functions that are always saved in the snapshots.

Please help.
Thank you

I see two solutions :

  • using a infamous mindi + a Control to CV :
    • the infamous mindi should be programmed on the CC50 to send the midi out of the Dwarf to you Ampero.
    • the Control to CV should toggle from 0 to max the value of the infamous mindi, making it going from 0 to 127.
    • you assign a Dwarf’s footswitch to the on/off button of the Control to CV plugin
  • the other solution (nearly the same), if you have multiple things to trigger in your ampero (or in the Dwarf’s pedalboard itself) you can replace all Control to CV in the solution above with the amazing Gossiper.

thank you very much. but how can I connect the mindi to the Control to cv? I assigned the Control to CV to the footswitch of the dwarf and now?

I can toggle on and off the Control to CV, bute how can I send MIDI values 0 and 127?

#5

Sorry, the CV output of your Control to CV should be assigned to the value of the infamous mindi

step One

  • put a * Control to CV* plugin on your board
  • name the CV output “control the world with this plugin”
  • in the parameters of the Control to CV plugin assign the on/off with any device’s button

step numbert who

  • put a infamous mindi on your board
  • in the parameters of the infamous mindi plugin :
    • change the channel and CC number to your desire
    • assigne the value parameter with the CV named “control the world with this plugin”
  • join the midi output of the infamous mindi to the Dwarf’s midi output

Is it okay ?
If the procedure is clear enough, if think you have a good idea on putting it somewhere on the wiki !

#9

Thanks a lot. But how can I change now the value of the cc comand? On is 127 and of is 0.

#10

By pushing the switch you assigned to the on/off of the Control to CV plugin. You should see the infamous mindi alternate its value between 0 and 127 with each push.

#11

is it okay ?

#12

unfortunately not. I see the control CV switch is moving from off to on, when I press the FS of the dwarf.
But the mindi does not change values.

#13

how should mindi know that it has to switch from 0 to 127 and again to 0 when I press the FS that is assigned to control cv?

#14

Now it works. I had to set the value of the control CV to max!! Thank you my hero!

I would have written this step to no1 because this belongs to the control CVV settings

#17

Now I want to switch on one block and turn another off at the same time. What would you suggest?
