Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Hi,

does anyone use it with a Rocktron MidiMate or an ART Ultrafoot?

I got my VF-1 only yesterday and did flip a bit through the manual.

It isn't quite clear how non-Boss MIDI controllers can be used to
send CC#s.

I want to use these to switch on and off effects (of course...) and
that was fine with my MidiMate.

They explain only some Boss MIDI fc which is to be set up to send
CC#s of "Midi-80" or something which the Rocktron clearly can't.

Any help appreciated :-)

Dont'know if I can help you, here are my two cents...........(I own a fc
200)

Switching off individual effects in a chain is done by using the 4
assignable controls (at the end af the vf chain).
You can choose your own CC commands but I gues you know that).
You "only" need to know what CC's your footcontroler sends (try and error
method ? Harmony central or the manufacter site).

The CC# 80 is mentioned because the Roland fc-200 has a switch that is more
ore less fixed to send CC# 80 anytime you hit it. (I programmed one
assignable control to CC 80 to switch on the tuner for my guitar..)

--------------------
The following is something from I copied from an old email maybe you don't
need it but its not in the manual:
"The VF banks respond to different CC numbers,
I contacted Roland Benelux and they wrote:
The banks are chosen by CC 00 and a bank select number, the FC- 200 sends
them, but......

The VF -1 reacts to the following midi commands:
                                                         CC 00
Program change map 1                          00
Progam change map 2                           01
Preset A                                                 02
Preset B                                                 03
User A                                                    04
User B                                                    05


Checking these list you'll see the VF-1 needs CC 00 04 and 05 to reach User
A and B,"

Greetings,
Sjaak
