Sweet! I'll have to research the Gen 3 and it's midi In operability. EG can a Gen 3 accept input from the Soleman so I can go
Soleman ==> Hub ==> C4
Soleman ==> host ==> Ms-60B

Going to need a bigger board ... again...
Yes that would work, the dmc will accept PC messages to change its P mode settings, so you could program your P presets, and then just send a PC from soleman to recall those presets, though having the hub in there for c4, you’ll need to invest some time in using the macros and program scene mode to send macros so that you can recall all your settings on all your devices with a single foot press.
 
Can anyone walk me through how to setup my pedals to each accept the tap tempo switch through my soleman into the hub?

My tap tempo switch is hooked up to the soleman and is working to send a signal to all of the pedals as they each have the green light blink as the tempo switch is pressed. The nemesis works perfectly with this, but I just got the vertigo and I can't seem to get it to use the tap tempo to change the speed, even though it is receiving the signal. I've attached a picture of the pedal board for reference. Lastly, can the c4 be set up with tap tempo for sequencer passages?

You need to enable midi clock on each preset of each pedal, the vertigo does not currently have a midi cc for tap tempo, so midi clock is the only way, and it’s prosbably the more efficient way to do this anyways, given that cc93 can only be sent on one channel, while midi clock is global and not channel dependent.

The C4 definitely syncs to a MIDI clock- just look at options in the Neuro editor for how it syncs. The Vertigo should also automatically sync to an incoming MIDI Clock tempo (assuming you have MIDI clock enabled and the Vertigo is receiving this info from the Soleman), however according to the manual when it receives a MIDI Clock signal the Speed knob converts to a "Subdivision" control (so you may have to edit to get straight quarter-note sync). Check pages 29-30 from the manual: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

OK, so I just made a new patch using the neuro desktop editor called Tremolo, with only my vertigo enabled. I enabled "sync to midi clock" at the bottom for the vertigo, and it is still showing the flashing light as I press the tap tempo, but it still doesn't actually change the speed of the setting on the vertigo even though the soleman is showing that the tempo is changing. I am testing using a very fast tap compared to a very slow tempo and the soleman is confirming this on the display. What am I missing?

You need to have the soleman send midi clock instead of cc93. If the vertigo is receiving midi clock, the led will constantly flash the tempo. As @sunbeast Mentioned, the speed control becomes a subdivision selector, so be mindful of that as well.

OK can you let me know how I do that? I connected my soleman via usb and checked the Soleman editor. I have "use CC for remote tap tempo" checked off already and that seems to send the signal to the pedals. When I disengage that setting, none of the pedals receive the tap tempo signal.

You will have to enable the midi clock check box for each scene/pane you are using.

Oh so is that all in the soleman editor? I setup my soleman initially and then have just been using the hub to setup all of my scenes. When I go into the soleman, none of the scenes have any of the names displayed from the hub scenes. Is there a way to import all of that information from the presets I have already made?

Thanks for all of your help, by the way. This is my first experience with midi so it is a bit of a learning curve.

Set the hub to midi out rather than thru, run a cable from it back to the input of soleman, then in the soleman editor enable, “read scene names from hub”

I do believe that is how I have it currently set up. The Soleman does show the scene names on the screen of the soleman. My issue was that in the soleman editor on the PC, the scenes don't show the names from the hub when I go to select the midi clock on each preset that requires it so I have to cross reference with the hub names to figure out which patch is which on the soleman editor.

They only show on the screen, not in the editor unfortunately.
