Use Mididesigner to make a big display for my midi pedalboard&AXE fx

Question

Hi all,

I have a live setup for guitar with an AXE FX and a Roland FC200 Midi footcontroller. All works OK, but I would like to have a bigger and more clear display becouse the display on footcontroller are tiny and only shows number of preset. I like to program MidiDesigner to have in my Ipad info with the preset number, preset name, list of presets (fixed list, no need to be updated from the AXE FX), and a few buttons to see if some CC# are activated or not in the current AXE FX preset. The possibility of manage AXE FX from Ipad is not a priority.

At the moment, I only know to program controls in Mididesigner to see the program number selected on the footcontroller, and buttons to see when some CC# are activated when changing on footcontroller, but I dont knot how to get info if the CC# are pre-selented with the preset on AXE FX. No idea on how introduce a list with names of the AXE FX presets to be display with program numbers. The idea is that MidiDesigner works like any multifx or synthesizer (shows a preset name when receive a program change midi command)

Thank you very much

There are a few ways to go, but first of all, check out Named Ticks in MIDI Designer.

Then: you could either have MIDI Designer in the middle -- receiving the CC and then sending a program change to the AxeFX (supercontrol -> subcontrol) -- or you could just have MIDI Designer reacting to the program change.

Glad to get the conversation started here. Thanks!

Great!  thank you very much!!
Hey man, you are really good at supporting your app. I have shoocked! :)
Right now I go to upgrade Mididesigner lite for the pro version.

One more question: have any idea to introduce a list of the presets to remember the numbers? a multi line label would be used, but need 128 lines, better something else that can be scroll

Thank you for the kind words!

There is no way to do a scrolling list yet in MIDI Designer. Named Ticks give you a knob, slider or crossfader that shows just one value at once. A scrolling list will happen in the future.

Note: if you're asking how to get the names INTO the list, check out the "Edit Text" button for Named Ticks. That way you can make the list with a text editor (or Excel -> Text Editor) and then just paste them in.
