DIY FX Preset Buttons?
Posted on: 15.06.2011 by Taisha Camou
Just wondering, I know there are multiple tutorials here on how to build super faders/knobs but how can you make the four diy fx preset buttons that are on the new MF Pro? Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Ya I was aiming for creating an extension to my midi fighter with one rotary potentiometer and two faders, like the beat masher, and I was wondering if i could add on the fx preset buttons as well.

oh. .so i didnt really get the question :P

like mrpopinjay said, it's only a matter of changing the "effect select" commands in the controller manager, to whatever fx combo you want.


@MrPopinjay: there are two MFpro mappings in the MF section.

Well we've never seen the new midifighter mappings (I believe) so I don't know how they work. I assume that the buttons just set certain effects slots to certain effects so it's a matter of changing the effect being directly selected to whatever you had in mind. Easy enough.

what software?

just map any button (midi controller or keyboard) to select effects on a certain bank.

/edit: reread the question. you mean building four more buttons to your MF?
if so: solder buttons (arcade or whatever) to the connections on the top left side of the MFs pcb. i believe you have to activate them in the menu mode. not sure about that.
