If your using the nemesis driver on the dmc that’s probably the issue, that was designed for the nemesis and not collider, so there’s a compromise with the bypass engage with the collider having 2 bypassable dsps. Better off using the hub to handle this than P mode. Or getting into the cc mode of the dmc and programming custom controls just for collider.
Are you using cc103 and cc104 for going through c4 patches? Remember that you have to use 103 for presets in bypass and 104 for presets active.My board is set up MC6 > splitter > hub > c4 and Ultrawave.
From the splitter is also out to a Stomp (then back to the MC6) and another out to a McMillan 12 step.
Before I got the 12 step, everything worked perfectly. Once I got it, I used 2 of the MC6 slots for a preset up and down using the scroll counter. Whenever I get back to 1 in the counter, whether I go up or down to it or I reset the counter, the C4 engages to whatever the last used preset was.
I’ve verified that there is no midi signal leaving the MC6 on channel 4 (C4) and I don’t use any scenes in the hub. Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening?

Sort of...
I built a Klein Bottle last year, and decided it needed midi-abilty, so I built a small board with an opto, an inverter/buffer, a few opto relays, and a QT PY RP2040, to control it all. The inverter is there for midi thru, so I have a pair of extra outs.
Wrote the code in CircuitPython, really easy, and pretty straight forward.
The tricky bit was getting the QT to recognize whether a loop was in the on or off state, so if my intent was to turn a loop on, that was already on, it wouldn't turn off. Tapped into the led circuit to three inputs of the QT, so it would always know what state it was in.
Bonus was getting the on board led to light up to indicate which loop or loops were on. Loop 1 is red, 2 is green, 3 is blue. When 1&2 are on I get yellow, 1&3, purple, etc.
At the time I didn't need the usb host, but it seemed like usb midi is well supported in circuitpython.
I'm interested in your project; I've been thinking about building a three-loop flip-flop style switcher, with midi. Currently using a dpc5 for that, contolled by an MC6, but it's a but overkill.
I’ll see where I get too, I found a half finished project someone started using an adafruit trinket M0 … might put one on the Christmas listI'm interested in this, too. If you start a thread, make sure to let me know!
Getting the gang back together, these have been sitting on my shelf for too long (except the Atlas, it’s been getting plenty of use). Just need to find all my right angle usb cables I packed away somewhere so I can plug everything into the usb hub. Shorter TRRS cables would be good too, need to track some down. At least it isn’t a big MIDI cable going to each one!
This board, followed by a Meris LVX and Chase Bliss Gen Loss Mk2 will be going into the stereo FX loop on my Quad Cortex.
I might swap out the Gemini for a Spectrum, depending on how satisfied I am with the filters on the LVX. Going to be fun once everything is connected with MIDI again.

All 5 pedals plus the Neuro Hub will plug into that, once I find my cables.Nice! What is the USB strip for?

Powered from the pedalboard power supply direct? What voltage is it, seems most hubs want 5v power.Getting the gang back together, these have been sitting on my shelf for too long (except the Atlas, it’s been getting plenty of use).

It’s a 12v, centre positive hub, so easily powered by the DC7. I used to use it with my big board, with all 10 slots filled and it worked great.Powered from the pedalboard power supply direct? What voltage is it, seems most hubs want 5v power.
EDIT: nevermind, I see it’s a dc7, is it powered from the usb out?
Is the usb strip there to make it easier to connect to your computer?It’s a 12v, centre positive hub, so easily powered by the DC7. I used to use it with my big board, with all 10 slots filled and it worked great.
Yes, so I just have one cable to plug in to use Neuro Desktop with all the pedals.Is the usb strip there to make it easier to connect to your computer?

You aren’t able to access or save pedal presets with the Hub. It’s been a while since I had this setup, but I don’t think you have any access to the Ultrawave other than choosing a preset, so even more necessary for that.I thought the Neuro Hub did that for you? No?
Very smart idea! I think I will give it a try. What hub are you using?You aren’t able to access or save pedal presets with the Hub. It’s been a while since I had this setup, but I don’t think you have any access to the Ultrawave other than choosing a preset, so even more necessary for that.
