Title: footswitch preset assignment
Post by thehatefuleight on Apr 19^th, 2020, 5:47pm

Hello people! Please I need some help with my footswitch, does anyone know if there is any way to assign presets like in the video? I am using a homemade footswitch with arduino, can I use Midi Ox for this purpose?

Hi
To an Arduino Uno R3 you can add a Midi shield with and in and out for your hardware.

Add the Midi library to the Arduino development environment and you should be able to detect a switch change in your loop and output the Midi to do what you want to do.

The preset selection is probably a Patch Change (PC) midi message. You need to find out from you pedal's manual what it needs.
If you are new to Midi there are some good sites on the web.
The Midi specification is at www.midi.org.
http://www.somascape.org/midi/tech/spec.html is one of my favorites for a quick, but detailed explanation of the various messages.

I don't know what else to tell you.
You need to really spell out what you want to do in detail for more help.

Stay well
