Yeah, thanks for the hard work Skrogh. FWIW, I can get the upload to work with repeated attempts. It is a really cool feature and definitely deserves a firmware update, if thats what it needs to make it work flawlessly.

This is also the first time I've been able to customize the step sequencer on my mac. Unless that exists somewhere that I don't know about.

What do you mean by repeated attempts? and do the dials update too?

Well, when I first hooked up to it yesterday I could get the patch to transfer to the pedal by this method:

-set the GUI to the settings I want
-select the upload option and click MIDI
-if the lights on the pedal did not change to indicate the preset was loaded, bypass the pedal, re-engage and then try again.
-When the preset transferred, the lights on the pedal reflected all of the changes

It usually worked within 3-5 attempts. I may have time this weekend to try again and see if it behaves the same.

FYI I'm using a mid-2011 iMac with a presonus firestudio project as the interface.

I've added some new features to the GUI:
*Multiwave Bass Distortion Pro has been added, but without the upload feature.
*The encoding for the "share" function has been changed, allowing stuff like this:
My super cool overdrive sound!!
you just have to pass "?data=" and the the save string after the URL. like so:
Code:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76469285/HTML5/index.html?data=MBP6FzyA1D-30o6yM9Z0W
Don't be to eager sharing settings this way yet though; the encoding might still change a bit.

That's all for this update. Next one will hopefully have the full Pro-line (minus poly-mod filter). and a way to slide through MIDI-devices if you have so many that they fill the screen.
I won't look further into the upload feature, until after NAMM. But I'll sure look at it then.

First let me say, amazing job so far Skrogh, tomorow I'll test it and report anything that might happen.
Since it was brought up here, how would a firmware update work on this pedal? I'm asking because I have some stuff that can be updated via MIDI, and other that require a new EPROM to be installed.
Also, you might know this, is there a way to access the VA parameter with MIDI CC?

Firmware updates can be done via the MIDI port.

Have not tested the upload feature yet but I had to come here and say (what is obvious) it works really well on the ipad.

Edit:
Upload also does not work for me. On iPad obviously because no jazz plugin. On chrome I send to TASCAM iU2 and nothing.

indeed : upload isnt working for the time being - the pedal needs a firmware update (after NAMM )

Oh,oh.. Now I have a reason to learn how to use a modern MIDI : )

Very cool looking so far. Thanks, Skrojh!

Minor update. All pro models except the PolyMod Pro added.
BEFP send semi-functional preset message again. The rest sends some test gibberish.

Skrogh, don't know if you'd like to talk this here or by PM but, I've looked at the code and I was wondering, you have the controls numbered and then the message you send is also numbered. Does the control numeration correspond to the word numeration on the MIDI message?

I'm not sure I quite understand you. The controlls are put in an array; when the midi out function is called, the controls are asked to give their positon in the order the sysex message requires it; but this has nothing to do with their position in the array (the number in []).

It is not sending cc's

I hope that answers the question?
But please don't look too much at the code, its waay too messy xD

Don't worry, I wouldn't do better

Yes, I was asking about the numbers in []. When you define the controls you put numbers in [] and that is their position in the array right? Then I have to see where each on is "called" on the SysEx array. Is that it?

Yes. May I ask why?

The whole story is I'm contemplating upgrading my FCB1010 MIDI pedalboard with the Gordius LG-FCB pack. This will allow me to send anything, even SysEx messages from the pedalboard.
My plan is to use this feature to access internal parameters that are not available by CC. The thing is, I already have the 6 presets on the MWBD in use and sometimes I would like to "use this preset but just with a bit different EQ" or something.
Truth is, none of this might even happen but I'd like to have the knowledge to make it possible.

You should be able to do this. I had posted this:

Asking about undocumented CC's and Roger replied that this can be done, wait for them to get all done in NAMM and check some code. Using Midi designer I setup templates of all the pedal and even with the published CC's it is works pretty well. The backpage stuff would be very handy to have in this type on UI.

Wow, MIDI designer extraordinaire
