Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Hi Bert,

 

Using MIDI-ox I was able to figure out what I was sending to the VF-1 and,
incidentally, started understanding the MFC-10 manual. Now I am changing
patches, invoking the VF-1 tuner and controlling the volume.

 

Many thanks!!

I'm not familiar with the MFC-10, but the first question would be what 
CC (control change command) the expression pedal operates on? It 
might be a fixed CC, or it might be able to send on any CC. This info 
should be in the MFC-10 manual.

In the VF1, you would then set one of the Assigns (1-4) to accept as 
input "MidiX" where "X" is the CC your pedal sends on. Also, in the 
VF1 the "target" parameter for that same assignment would be set to 
either "Foot Volume" or "Master Volume" or whatever else you wanted to 
control. This needs to be done FOR EACH PATCH! I don't think the VF-
1 has a global setting for doing this. The Assign stuff is near the 
end of the menus for each patch (scroll left to get there quickest).

Does that make sense?

Changing patches is easy. On your pedal, just program each pedal to 
send out the desired PC (Program Change) command, where PC 1 will call 
up User-A #1, PC 2 will call up User-A #2, etc. up through PC 128 will 
call up User-B #28 Do you know how to get the MFC-10 to send PC 
commands?
