RE: MIDI pedal board for Line6 Echo Pro

["the toy room" <thetoyroom@comcast.net>]

Tim,

Please, when you can, describe what midi message you are sending with
each button on your midi pedal, and what the Echo Pro is actually doing.

Your statement of "Yeah.... I noticed that it worked slightly
differently than the way the manual described it" has been my EXACT
point of frustration with implementing the Echo Pro via midi control.
Getting it to have a smooth toggle-type interface that is such a boon on
the DL4 has always been difficult.

Best,
Rich

Yeah, I do remember that when I started using it (in
mid-2003) I noticed that it worked slightly
differently than the way the manual described it, so I
made little labels for the front row of switches. (Oh,
yeah, in addition to the ones I mentioned, button 4 is
just 'stop', as opposed to button 6's "play/stop"
toggle.) (Lately I have been using my floor-based
loopers only, as I've been overhauling/reconfiguring
the rack yet again, so I can't go check it right
now...)

I'd never really used the regular delays on either the
DL4 or the echopro, but two weeks ago I was playing up
in Maine and part of my power supply to my Boss-type
effects failed. (Strangely, half of it still worked.)
I had to do some hasty reconfiguring and realized that
I had to choose between my overdrive and delay, as I
could not power both of them with the remaining part
of the power supply. (The loopers were using their own
supplies.) Then it occurred to me that I had several
delays right there in front of me with working,
available power supplies. So I stuck the DL-4 into the
signal path where the DD-3 had been, and continued
using the Headrush and RC-20 as loopers. Made a mental
note, though, to familiarize myself more thoroughly
with the functions I DON'T normally use on my gear!
