Tips
This section describes the editor settings with Advanced Options. Selecting Advanced Options makes several changes:
- You can set a 2nd patch for each patch footswitch on the MFC Patches tab
- New tabs are available, for Patch Changes, Overrides and Library messages
- You can select library messages on the Effects tab
- You can make override settings on the MIDI, Effects, Pedals and Patch Changes tabs
- There's an option on the Other tab to set patch change event order
You can freely switch between Basic and Advanced modes without losing the main settings, but you should review all settings before saving as a precaution.
Advanced features will usually require some time, effort and planning to get the most out of your MFC. These options provide extremely flexible and powerful options that allow control over multiple connected devices that can operate differently on every patch if you wish. As always, start with basic ideas and build from there.
The only change to MFC operation when using advanced features is the ability to choose a second patch on each patch footswitch. Depending on your settings, a 2nd patch can be selected by multi-pressing a patch footswitch or with 2nd patches available in Shift mode.
MIDI Settings
Advanced mode adds the ability to make override settings available for use. You can use the override settings for different MIDI channels, different bank numbers, or both. To use an override, go to the Overrides tab.
MFC Patch Settings
In Advanced Options, each patch footswitch can send a 2nd patch. Decide whether you wish to select the 2nd patch with a 2nd press (like double-clicking your mouse), or select it when Shift is active on the MFC.
When using a 2nd patch with 2nd press, each press of the patch footswitch will toggle between the 1st and 2nd patches. You don't have to use a 2nd patch on every footswitch, just whichever ones you want.
For backtracking purposes, a double-click counts as a single patch selection. So you can freely move to and from 2nd patch selections with backtracking working as you expect.
Effect Settings
The main differences for advanced effects are:
- You can set up additional override effects available to be used instead of the default effects.
- You can send library messages which allow multiple MIDI messages on any channel, system exclusive messages, etc
Note that for a persistent effect to carry from one patch to another in advanced mode:
- The effect must be set to "Persistent Toggle" (obviously)
- The same effect must be on the same footswitch in both previous and current patches. They can both be the default effect, or they can both be the same overridden effect.
Pedal Settings
The only difference with Advanced Options is the ability to make override settings available for use.
Patch Change Settings
This tab allows you to send additional messages when selecting a patch. You can set relay states and send 2 x CC or library messages.
Use the default selection for the most commonly used settings (which may be no settings). Then use the slider to select override settings for changes you may wish to apply to certain patches using the Overrides tab. You can also use the [Patch Change Event Order] button on the Other tab to set the order that these settings are applied.
Overrides and Library Settings
This guide has separate sections for Overrides and Library settings.
Other Settings
The Other tab has only one change compared to Basic mode: you can click [Patch Change Event Order] to set the order of what happens when you select a patch. For example, this allows you to send the extra patch change messages before or after effect resets.
