Dear forums members,
please post here your ideas and suggestion regarding the virtual board software for the Pedalino.
Lets first give you the definition of the VirtualBoard.
VirtualBoard#: The VB trasnforms the pads of the pedalino in to a switch for bypassing/activate each or a group of effects.
Basic physical information:
................Control Pad..........Pad (-).......................Pad (Load).................Pad (+)
Level 1.......Bypass................Effect/s bypass...........Effect/s bypass...........Effect/s bypass
Level 2.......Exit VB................none.........................non e..........................none
Level 3.......MUTE/Tuner.........none/Effect bypass......none/Effect bypass.......none/Effect bypass
As you see the control pad always operate a 3 levels.
The other pads can be set to work either like normal switches or like two pressure level siwtches according to user preference.
Virtual Boards names and preset in the PedalPro:
Each preset can be saved and associate to a different virtual board. The link between the VB and preset is saved at the preset level in the PedalPro.
Just an example:
Preset VB
DumbleDrv Rock
DumbleDrv Fusion
PlexiDrv Rock
Display and information on the Pedalino.
The display of the Pedalino has two wide lines of 16 chars visibile from stand position.
The ideas is two show the effects chain according to VB definition:
VB=Rock
Cp-FXX-Ex-Bo-Dis-
-Tr-Mo-Dly-Ex-Vo
Cp=compressor
FXX can be Fi1 (filter 1), Fi2 (filter 2), F12 (filter 1+2)
Ex=Pre-loop
Bo=Boost
Dis=Distortion
Tr=Tremolo
Mo can be Ph (Phaser) or Ch (Chorus) or Fg (Flanger)
Dly=Delay
Ex=Post loop
Vo= Volume control
Example:
Lets assume that PAD1(-) activates according to user preference Fi1; Pad2 activates simultaneuosly Boost and Preloop; Pad3(+) activates Dly
The original preset uses Compression, Distortion, Volume , DLY and Ex post loob reverb.
When you enter the VB the Display will show the effect in their chain sequence order
Cp----------Dis-
-------Dly-Ex-Vo
When Pad1 is pressed:
Cp-Fi1-------Dis-
-------Dly-Ex-Vo
When Pad2 is pressed:
Cp-Fi1-Ex-Bo-Dis-
-------Dly-Ex-Vo
When Pad3 is pressed:
Cp-Fi1-Ex-Bo-Dis-
----------Ex-Vo
So the effects or group of effects which are linked to the pads can be bypassed or activated.
For example if your noise gate is on, using the Rock VB it is not possible either to deactivate it or to visualize it in the Pedalino's display.
This is the basic idea.
@ Peter I love your idea. So that the Expression pedal can be used more efficiently. I will study how to implement it. Keep thinking
