There is no way to move to the next part of a song without a well timed hold (or a midi command). Let us queue this up with a single press of the external footswitch.
Having to hold and then release takes attention away from music during critical transitions.
Allow setup of the external footswitch (while playing and for bonus points when stopped/paused) so that a quick tap plays the fill until the end of the part and then starts the next part. Bonus points for allowing an option for switch at the end of the measure.
Start the transition fill upon press of an external footswitch, continues to play the transition until the end of the current part after releasing the footswitch.
I can understand why this may have been harder to add years ago when the BB first came out (since the external footswitch would behave differently that the main, multipurpose footswitch), but now it just seems broken. Saying that midi fixes this is a pretty annoying responseâŚ
If I understand correctly, you have the switch set to release, there is a possibility in the BB to set it to press instead of release, in the menu. I think this would solve your problem.
I just made the same request. The response I got was that this isnât likely to be addressed because you can do a one click transition using Midi Maestro. I have zero desire for the midi maestro given its size and cost. I really hope a single click transition option (instead of fill) is considered for the next release.
Hey there,
this is because your request was not specified to an external footswitch like our Footswitch+. We do plan on looking into adding the option to transition using the external footswitch. We do not, however, plan on changing the behavior of the main footswitch.
Intentionally bumping this because I think itâs important.
I understand not wanting to change the behavior of the main footswitch, but the lack of this control on the external switch is a huge oversight that I really hope gets fixed soon. Itâs essential for anyone who has purchased the complete collection. I donât want to purchase an entire MIDI controller just to handle transitions.
Yes, same request here - PLEASE ADD a âNEXT PARTâ option for an external footswitch. And add âPREVIOUS PARTâ as an option too, while youâre at it.
âNEXT PARTâ is the most used function (after âSTARTâ), and having to hold it down while playing is such a distraction while playing a complex piece of music.
How about footswitch+ added with a third switch that works as if two existing switches combined but can be assigned to seperate function- Transition for instance. Similar phenomenon like the way Digitech FS3x footswitch works with Digitech multieffects.
Or,
May be just add an option to assign function for combined press and we will mod the third switch DIY. Please.
Because sometimes i end up without transition in fear of missing the timing while holding the pedal press. Not always been able to take full advantage of beat transition.
Iâd like to see that singe midi command to transition to a part.
Iâve never wanted to keep looping on a transition (as it does now)
The way it works now:
CC-113,2 - Please transition eventually to part 2 - So it just loops forever in transition ???
CC-113,0 - Okay now make the transition
This means you have to send to commands to make the most basic transition.
Your choices are to use two buttons on youâre pedal or send two command from one midi controller. The only what Iâve found to output two command from one button to send on command and down and another on up. This seems to work okay, but once in awhile the second is sent to quickly or some that gets the pedal get stuck in transition. Then you just have to keep pounding the button to get it to stop transitioning.
Hereâs what Iâd like it todo
CC-113,2 - Play the transition once then transition to part 2 - This seems so logical to me.
What am I missing here? Are people playing the transition for 10 bars them moving to the next part.
Why I donât use next part/previous part. In my case and song can have 3 parts:
Verse
Chorus
Bridge
A lot of songs just have Verse Chorus so next previous would work.
Some songs to Verse to Bridge (or other 3rd part) and so forth.
In theory this would work, but it gets confusing.
It seems best to have 3 buttons (one for each)
If you are using BB version 3.9.9, all you need to do is send both the CC113 value 1-32 command and the CC113 value 0 command at the same time with the value 0 command coming after.
Glenn, can you confirm that sending CC113-2 and CC113-0 simultaneously does not run the transition once (to the end of the measure) and then go to Part 2
Just wanted to add another vote to this. I just purchased the footswitch used during Singular Soundâs black friday deal and am frustrated to find that advancing a song part isnât an option with a single footswitch tap. Holding down a pedal long enough - but not too long - at a critical time in a song (like coming out of a solo) to transition is an awkward user experience. Sure you can practice this, but I was hoping to use the footswitch to add a single-tap option to make this easier. I understand why the single-button pedal itself works this way, but hopefully this is added as an option for the external footswitch.
I am considering returning the Footswitch in favor of a MIDI controller because this is really what I wanted the switch for.
I was simulating this using the HX effects and assigning these commands to some buttons, but what I observed is that CC113-2 does start the transition, and CC113-0 will stop it, but it wonât loop back around to the first part if youâre on the last. This seems different from the pedal itself, where if you long-press and transition that way it cycles back around to the start.
What Iâm realizing is that the first CC113-N command starts a transition to the Nth part of the song, and then the CC113-0 ends the transition. If youâre trying to use MIDI to move to just the next part then itâs a bit more complicated than just sending 1 single command over and over.
