TRS switch, BRAKE question

[luedmo]

TRS condundrum solved…

With a Digitech FS3X pedal (TIP, RNG and T+R)
With T+R is set in AUX SW to the PSW function
With a MF Algo (e.g. a CHORUS):

1.  step and keep holding down the T+R, it displays BRAKE until you take yr foot off, it then displays the Preset again
2.  tap quickly on the T+R, it toggles between SLOW and FAST, and the display changes accordingly

Note:
Behaviour #1 does not toggle the Algo from SLOW to FAST, it only performs a BRAKE (i guess putting ‘Speed’ Knob to 0)
(e.g. behaviour #1 does not trigger the same result of a behaviour #2)

This suggests that Eventide H9s are capable of detecting 3 different messages from an AUX footswitch

1.  Footswitch <ON>
2.  Footswitch <NOT going OFF for a while>
3.  Footswitch <OFF>

With a FS3X chained up via MIDI to downstream H9s here’s what happens:

• if H9-1 is a CHORUS and H9-2 is a CHORUS – they are both in ‘PSW Synch’ and behaviour #1 and #2 are same on each pedal
• if H9-1 is a CHORUS and H9-2 is a DELAY – behaviour #2 triggers a RPT ON and…
  • …all subsequent behaviours #2 give a <h9-1 SLOW and h9-2 RPT ON> result – OK. BUT…
• if you then do a behaviour #1 BRAKE the ‘PS Sync’ order flips round…
  • and all subsequent behaviours #2 give a <h9-1 SLOW and h9-2 RPT OFF> result

So – depending on how you stomp the AUX sw, you can get 3 different behaviours.

ok
So this came up previously, possibly via Eventide user Brock (who knows stuff and some), and here is the MIDI version

H9 Hotswitch/Performance Switch via MIDI (acting inconsistent?)

How the performance/middle switch works in different algorithms:
TF: value 127 toggles between REPEAT on/off
MF: value 127 brakes the modulation, fast switching between 127 and 0 toggles FAST/SLOW modulation
PF: value 127 triggers FLEX on and value 0 triggers FLEX off
SPACE/H9 algorithms: value 127 triggers HOTSWITCH on and value 0 triggers HOTSWITCH off
