Midi footcontroller

Midi footcontroller

2001-09-06 by Sjaak de Vos

Is there anybody in this group who's using a midi-footcontroller like the Roland FC-200 ?
I'm having a problem choosing patches User B 29 - 101.
I left the Program Change Map settings the way they are (Programnumber 1 = UA1, prognr. 100 = UA100 and prognr. 128 = UB28).
My midi footcontroller works oké changing patches User A 1- 100, User B 1 - 28, Preset A/B 1- 100.
The problem is that whenever I want to "reach" the patches User B 29 - 100 the VF-1 does not change to the User B but to the User A group.
Example: I press on my Midi footcontroller: Bank 14, Patch 3, I expect the VF-1 to change to patch User B 43 but it changes to User A patch 43.
I also own a Roland GP-100 which has 400 patches, no problems here encountering patches 129-200.
Anybody outthere having the same (stupid) problem ??
I don't wanna change my Program Change Map, I don't understand why it is limited to 128 patches/programnumbers (IMHO it should include all the User A & B patches, 202 programnumbers should be assignable).
Greetings, a couple weeks ago I wrote Boss/Roland a mail concerning this problem, no answer.

Yep.. since two days.. :)

What i read in the manual is that the FC200 can address only 128 
patches..(12 banks) and only the Ua bank on the VF-1..

You can change the MIDI codes sent from the FC200 to get other 
results in your VF-1 (other banks) or you can change the MIDItable in 
your VF-1 to get the VF-1 reacting different on the Midicodes sent 
from the FC200..

I also read that there is a way to get the FC200 to address 999 
patches, but i can't tell you from here.. you'll have to check out 
the manual..

The solution is in the manual.. as always.. :)

Marco,

Lets try to work this midi thing out.
Midi is a nice system and I'm using it for several years now but this is a
tricky little problem.
The way my setup works now is good enough but I would like to get the most
out of my Roland GP-100 guitar preamp/processor and the VF-1.

The VF-1 is running through the send/returns of my GP-100.
I think I can get the most out of them like this, the GP-100 is quite
simular to the VF-1 but also very different, using the send returns (which
can be placed anywhere in the GP-100's preamp/effects chain).

For the midi part: the FC-200 goes: Midi in (Gp-100) and Midi Tru (Gp-100)
goes to the VF-1 Midi in.
This is what I want(ed)/expected: The FC-200 should control all the VF's and
GP's user patches by choosing 1 bankselect number and 1 program change
number.
This works fine only not for User B 29 to 100.
At this moment I have no problem reaching the 200 user patches of the GP and
the VF runs along perfectly until I want to combine the gp user patches
129 - 200.
I would like the vf to change to User B but it changes to user A.

Now don't spent to much time about thinking about this problem because I
think I'm asking something the Units can't deliver, at least I think I've
reached the end of the midi capacities.

The reason.......... ?


The 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

But he Gp works a little bit different:
                                                           CC 00
Program change map 1                            00
Program change map 2                            01
Program change map 3                            02
Program change map 4                            03

Checking these list you'll see the VF-1 needs CC 00 04 and 05 to reach User
A and B,
The Gp does not recognize them.
Roland suggest switching off the Fc - 200's  "Send Bankselect".
Select your banks manually and you've got acces to all the patches in the
selected bank.

Well so far Roland Benelux, I think I'm trying to reach for something
impossibble.
At this moment my FC-200 gives me full access to the gp 100 and I can access
128 User patches of the VF-1 (and all the presets).
That's enough but it would be nice if both the gp and the vf User Banks
would react to the same CC (bank select)numbers.

Quite confusing isn't it......
But, midi is a very nice system but sometimes it does not cover all my
wishes.
Or am I missing "The Solution" ?

groeten,

Sjaak de Vos

Hello Sjaak,

Well it seams that you've been giving it a lot more
thought than i expected..

You've allready had contact with Roland too, so i
think that i, with my new fresh knowledge of midi,
can't help you with this one..

Succes!

Midi footcontroller

2004-04-08 by Vince

Can I use a Digitech Control Seven footcontroller with this? Thanks!

RE: [BossVF1] Midi footcontroller

2004-04-08 by Patrick Reed

If it has a midi out port on it then yes you can.  I use an ART foot
controller with it and it works great.  It will take any type of midi
signal, thus allowing you to use any type of foot controller that uses midi.

Of course.

ANY midi foot controller will do.

If it's the kind of Digitech pedal that requires power from the 
processor through the midi cable, it will not work. If it receives 
power from a power cord or wall wart, it will work.

I have been using a Digital Music Ground Control with my VF-1. The VF-1 MIDI
in is 5-pin without phantom power. The Ground Control is 7-pin MIDI out and
can receive phantom power on pins 1 and 2. I bought some MIDI connectors
from Mouser Electronics and made up a little cable harness so that I could
adapt 5-pins to 7-pins and insert phantom power from a wall transformer. I
then am able to use one 7-pin MIDI cable to connect the Ground Control to my
rack setup. If anyone is interested, I can make up a diagram.

I own a Rocktron Midi Mate Footcontrlloer - same deal - 7 pins, receives
power, but only 5 pins on the VF-1.
 
BUT, Rocktron sells a cable premade, 5 pin with wall wart adapter input on
one end, with a 7 pin on the other end.  Real heavy duty cable, made great.
I got it quite a while ago, and I recall it was expensive, so if David's
plans are easy, that may be the way to go.

RE: [BossVF1] Re: Midi footcontroller

2004-07-15 by Blind By Noon

Rolls makes a pretty inexpensive pedal called the
Midibuddy (around $100 new) that actually accepts
power through a 5 pin cable (only 3 pins of the normal
5 pin midi connecter actually carry a signal...so
Rolls uses the other 2 unused pins to send phantom
power....I don't know why they're the only company who
does this?).  Rolls also makes a small little box that
does the same thing as David's home made box (inserts
phantom power into the two pins that the Rolls
Midibuddy pedal looks for to power it). 
Unfortunately, they don't make the phantom power box
anymore (it's called a MP-26), but you can find them
(like I did) on Ebay every once in a while.  I paid $3
for it on ebay and $48 for a used Midibuddy pedal.  If
you can't find the MP-26 phantom power box on ebay,
download the manual for the Rolls Midibuddy pedal and
it shows the schematic for which two pins you send
phantom power through, so you could build a box like
David's.

RE: [BossVF1] Re: Midi footcontroller

The ADA MC-1 (?) Foot controller also works with phantom power. Seems like I
recall it uses the 7-pin cable and 9VAC like the Ground Control.

The Rocktron does also but the pins are different from the Ground Control.
