Multiple RCV Program Change Maps

[aonascimento]

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.
