Darkglass anagram

In time I hope to build out the presets to be able to be controlled via midi so as I scroll through the setlist on my iPad and change the presets accrdingly on the Anagram to load specific song/tine models, e.g. Brown Eyed Girl into Won't Get Fooled Again (very different tones obviously). Not sure this is doable yet with my current iPad midi setup. I need to set the presets first then I can worry about how to control them. The tech here is easy and usable, but for me it always comes down to the tone and this is probably one of the best modelers I've heard so far.

It should be doable. I have my MIDI footswitch set up to change Anagram presets, it's just a PC message I think (values 1-126 corresponding to each of the Anagram's internal presets).

Good info so far! Thank you all.

I am a Darkglass convert. Running through one of their 410s (sitting on a Epifani 15") with a Alpha/Omega 900 Head. I have a Microtubes B7K Ultra, an ancient Delta Lab DBFX1 Bass Multi Effects Pedal and a Polytune 3 tuner. I'm thinking this could replace everything I have on the floor right now. But I am curious... Can the tuner be set to different tunings, like 432 instead of 440? And are ALL the settings of their pedals accessible via that intuitive looking interface?

The Anagram is extremely easy to use. You could figure out most of the functionality immediately without a manual. It's really that easy. It's a touchscreen with knobs. You tap blocks to edit them, you drag them to move them in the preset, you tap a blank spot to add a block, and the knobs control the things under them.

The hardest thing to understand if you've never used a modeler before is scene mode, which is essentially a preset within a preset, where you can toggle multiple blocks on/off and/or adjust the settings all with one stomp switch. Most modelers have something like that so it's not unique to the anagram in any way, but it's a big change if you're coming from analog pedals. It's also completely optional. You could just use stomp mode if you want each switch to toggle a single effect

Appreciate the response! Prolly gonna take some good pics of my B7K knob settings, (so I have a good starting point for the Anagram) then trade all my pedals in for the New Box.
