Boss FC50 -> Funkbox: Pedalboard Program Change Issues

Question

Hi, i'm Simone, I'm using a Boss Fc50 midi pedalboard through an Edirol dualcapture midi  interface and my ipad. I would like to use pedal 1 to start/stop my Funkbox drum app. I  set the "learn" function in the mididesigner pedalboard ( selecting program change) and push the boss fc50  footswitch. But then, the drum machine start with all the boss pedals, not only with the n.1 !!! (It's just like the app doesn't recognise the "number" of the boss fc50). How can i do?

Now make the knob a supercontrol and make buttons as subcontrols. This will create a button group.

Now the knob will switch you through the buttons.

Yessss it works!!!! Now I have to set the right steps of the knob with the number of pedals of my Fc50...
I just bought the complete version of midi designer pro...;-)
Thanks!!

That's great to news, glad to hear we got you sorted. If you feel so inclined: Please remember to give a written, 5-star review of MDP (and MD Lite) with each new version in the App Store. Thanks!

Is this the app you're using?

Yes it is!
I'll remember the 5 stars... don't worry!!!
Now i'm trying to create a  layout using a start/stop knob on midi ch.1 with funkbeat and a Bass pedal (using my boss fc50) with the sounds of Sunrizer.
I also would like to create chords with a simple footswitch but it isn't so easy.... you know, I'm a guitar player!!!!

Answer 1

Since program changes are actually all the same MIDI message, buttons cannot work directly. Instead:

1. Make a knob that receives the program changes.
2. The knob will be the supercontrol for a button group.
