VB3 Leslie Switching Scenario

Cantabile
1

So here is a “is this possible” question. VB3 uses CC 1 as the Leslie sim control. I can use a press on - press off footswitch to control that through MIDI Expression, but what I would really like to do is use:
CC X > CC 1 On
CC Y > CC 1 Off
CC Z > CC 1 Toggle

This would allow me to have two push buttons to set the sim on or off, and a momentary foot switch to toggle the effect.

Does anyone know if this is possible within Cantabile or an outside VST?

Thanks!
Rick

Hi Rick,

This is do-able in 3 separate Cantabile bindings if you have the 3 physical switches available.

Dave,

That is my intent, so… yes, I do. Could you explain a little more?

Thanks!

Hey Rick,

Here are some example bindings that will do this. The sources side can be done with “Learn” functions for adding bindings but the Controller(No Edge Button) should be there in the the source of each binding. I’m using switches on my rig and a damper pedal.

Dave,

Thanks! I’ll give this a shot tomorrow.

So… this setup has a strange action. I have two normally open buttons on my ICON controller (software) and a BOSS normally open momentary footswitch. The ICON buttons work fine… one for ON, and one for OFF, but the footswitch requires two presses to toggle the effect.

Ideas?

Thanks

Hi Rick,

It sounds like your footswitch is behaving like a toggle switch so the proper binding for vb3 would be

the binding passes the toggle value of the foot switch to VB3 with no conversions, try it and see…

Dave,

Thanks for the help. Actually though, there was another option…

I use a MIDI Expression pedal between the foot switch and Cantabile. It always helps when the settings are correct…
