Hi all
I have a C4, the neuroHub and the soleman. How can I access a given C4 preset (one located above the six directly selectable) without a computer ?
Other question : with the neuro app (iphone), how can I select a given preset on the C4 ?
Thank you
if trying to access presets on the C4 directly, you’ll need to use cc103 (bypsss) cc104 (active) with any value between 0 and 127 to load the preset number your looking for. Or just save all those presets to the hub and use scene mode on soleman to scroll through the presets directly that way. hub does not pass on midi PC messages over the 1/8” control ports.
I have not yet had time to dig into this gear yet, but I’m wondering if the following is possible:
1. Using the neuro hub and a bunch of SA pedals, set up a bunch of scenes with the assistance of the computer neuro lab ui.
2. using the sole man and the neuro lab interface set up a playlist that corresponds to a single song. I can set up to 64 of these set lists.
3. Since I want to use the set list feature to hold the settings for individual songs, I now need a way to build a list of set lists in the Soleman to step through the songs with less tap dancing than would be required using the Soleman alone. Can I use a second midi controller to easily step through the Soleman set lists? Ideally I’d like to set up the set lists (which are individual songs) to be in sequence, and have a way to step up and down through the list, and use the Soleman to step through the effects in each set list.
Use case: we frequently play a predetermined setlist, but sometimes take requests that have us deviate from that list. It would be great to just scroll to the song I need quickly, and then get back to the setlist in progress, and easily skip past the song that may have been played out of sequence. All while having clear labels.
Recommendations for both a midi pedal that can step through the setlist, or key in a random access sequence code would be appreciated.
I think the easiest, and least complicated way to do this, is to just lean over and switch back to scene mode and manually scroll through your songs that way. Rather than making a separate set list for each song. Then switch back to set list mode, and load your set list, then scroll back to the song you left off on (youd have to do this no matter what way to tackle it, leaving set list mode resets the set list to where you must choose the set list before resuming).
if you want to go the midi controller route, then a controller that sends midi notes is best (note messages are used to recall scenes, as PC messages are used for recalling panels, then CC messages are used to recall scenes, panes, set lists, as well as cycling through modes, but your not going to find a lot of midi controllers on the low end of cost that will cycle through cc values for a given cc number, again, making recalling individual set lists the least efficient way to do this). A dmc micro is gonna be the cheapest thing that can do this. Then you can recall scenes that way to recall a specific song.
personally, I live in panel mode, and setup a macro to recall the scene I need for a song, then use the 4 footswitches to change settings on specific pedals or actions to continue through the song, using a single scene, rather than multiples. But then you need to get handy with building scenes for each song and a panel to control it, then you need a way to organize them (the best of which I have found is to export each panel for a song, then import them in the order that I plan on using them in).
been working with jesse on ideas to help streamline using the different modes of soleman in an on the fly, live setting that is a bit more conducive and less limiting to a single mode in a performance.
