One effect, several buttons - how?
One effect, several buttons - how? Posted on: 20.06.2011 by Chae Gnatek Hey guys!Okay, so I've got 6 buttons that I want to dedicate to the beatslicer effect - all wiith a different value. I want the buttons to activate the effect when held down, and I want the effect to be turned off ONLY when ALL buttons are released! If I just map all buttons to be "Effect On"-"Hold" -buttons, when I press button 1, then button 2 and then releases button 1 the effect is turned off. Any of you guys know how to make all the buttons turn on the effect and only turn it off when no buttons at all are pressed? Thanks! | |

Tatum Ansaldo 19.06.2011 | add a load slicer command to each button as well? you'd need to press the button twice first time but after that it should work. |
Nana Mohs 19.06.2011 | I was having a problem similar to that. I would be using delay and then try to turn on my slicer and the effect would switch and not turn on, and my 2 bar loop would get activated. I made a couple buttons to fix the problem. One switches my effect unit 3 to Slicer. The other to Delay. You could do both to one button with a little modifier work, but i had the extra buttons. |
Chae Gnatek 19.06.2011 | AIGHT, so what you said worked PERFECTLY! BUT, now my problem is, that on this effect slot I also use another effect (delay), and if I've been using the slot for the delay effect and want to use the slicer by pressing one of the 6 buttons the buttons act inverted: the effect is turned off when I press the buttons and turned off when no buttons are pressed. Is there a way to work around this or..? |
Tatum Ansaldo 19.06.2011 | Glad to help! It's gna take you ages to map but I hope it's worth it! |

That means that the modifier value will represent the number of buttons being held down, only the first one will turn it on (in any order) and it won't turn off until the last one is released. There might be a simpler way to do it but that's the first thing that comes to mind. |
