Thanks for the suggestions Joe and brock!
Unfortunately neither suggestion has worked for me. I tried changing the Switch Mode to ‘Release’ but that did not make any difference for me. I also tried adjusting the Patch Chg Time, 0 to 10 but that did not work either.
I also am having additional issues when assigning ES8 buttons to change MIDI parameters.
I’m using the Space Spiral program and what I want to do is bypass it during the chorus and back on for the verse, I have tried this with both P Act/Byp and P Act/Byp (M) with different results.
P Act/Byp requires 2 taps to enable/disable and my loops only require 1 tap.
P Act/Byp (M) has less consistent results but the most common result is the first tap is ignored and then it works with 1 tap, so that puts it out of sync with the rest of my ES8 program. This setting can also get very inconsistent sometimes not switching at all. I seams to get worse when multiple changes occur.
Here are the steps:
ES8: I select patch 8 and it loads the Space Spiral program.
Basic version; I set CNUM to enable/disable Space Spiral with either of the above commands ( playing clean amp, heavy fusion picking part).
I tap the ES8’s patch 8 button (CNUM) and I get the results mentioned above.
More complicated version; Additional changes are programmed to change with CNUM, I enable a loop with a distortion pedal and I turn the LED on for that loop.
The expected results should be, H90 is bypassed and the loop and LED become enabled.
I have an ES5 in the shelf, I’ll try and hook it up the weekend and see if I get the same results.
I pretty much use all the ES8’s advanced features and without getting into all the ES8 features, I’m just saying that has been my workflow for years using the Strymon big 3.
So I am hoping the Eventide developers will give some love to the MIDI stability in the next firmware release :).
Thanks, Kevin
