Let`s say I`m using whatever midi controller that has ten buttons to change presets on the H9. I`m on preset 3, and step on the button for preset 7. Preset 7 comes on. Is it possible to program the H9 to toggle active/bypass by stepping on the same button again? Basically getting the H9 to react differently to the same midi command a second time ie; it knows it`s already ON preset “X”, so it knows you want it to toggle.
Here’s one way to do it. I’m using an FCB 1010; you may be able to set up something similar in your rig.
Each footswitch sends a MIDI CC message along with its Program Change message. The MIDI CC value alternates between 127 and 0 on every switch press. In the H9, LEARN this MIDI CC number to ACT(ive), TOG(ggle), or BYP(ass); depending on what state you want called up first when a footswitch is selected.
It will screw with your “trails & tails”, though; whether or not you use DSP+FX as a Bypass mode. It’s sending the Program Change – reloading the preset – each time that Active / Bypass gets toggled. That works in some situations. In others, … not so much.
