  Hi. I recently acquired a TimeFactor stomp due to all the control it provides to its features, and it’s really awsome indeed. However, I came across an issue that is bugging me because I could not find any answer through the web.
  
  My MIDI controller is very limited at the number of program changes it sends and I was hopping that TimeFactor allowed me to create more than one RCV Map. Eg:
  
  RCV MAP #01
  
  PC #00 -> Bypass
  
  PC #01 -> 1:1
  
  PC #02 -> 1:2
  
  PC #03 -> 2:1
  
  PC #04 -> 2:2
  
  RCV MAP #02
  
  PC #00 -> Bypass
  
  PC #01 -> 4:1
  
  PC #02 -> 4:2
  
  PC #03 -> 5:1
  
  PC #04 -> 5:2
  
  That way I could use the same program changes my controller is capable of
  
  sending to have multiple multiple presets in different contexts/bands, etc.
  
  Is that possible without the need to externally save/export the current
  
  config? In other words, is that possible changing the RCV MAP on the fly
  
  without having to connect to a pc and loading a previously saved MAP?
  
  Thanks in advance.

  No, you can only assign one RCV Map. But here is something you can do:
  
  PC #00 -> 1:1
  
  PC #01 -> 2:1
  
  PC #02 -> 3:1
  
  PC #03 -> 4:1
  
  PC #04 -> 5:1
  
  With footswitches on the TimeFactor, you may be able to easily switch to 10 presets.

  Yes. You can change the MIDI PC RCV Mapping on the unit in the Settings->MIDI->RCV Map menu.

    That was exactly what I intended to do, thanks for the suggestion by the way. The point is that this is just one MAP, and I would need a completely different MAP for another band situation (eg. play in a cover band, and play in an independent band, or with acoustic set), with the same program changes pointing to different bank:presets.
    
    That mainly is because of my controller PC number limitation.

    I meant the whole RCV MAP like MAP 01, MAP 02, MAP 03… But as you said, only one map can be assigned at a time.
    
    I suppose I’ll have to load saved maps for every different gig.
    
    Thanks for the reply.
