I can bind the expression pedal to any of the sliders in jack-rack. For
example, I bind one of the expression pedals which is set to send midi CC 27
events to the Cutoff Frequency slider of the Glame Butterworth X-over Filter
and I've got a wah-wah pedal.
This is great, but the other thing that I want to be able to do is bind some
of the footswitches to the Enable button for this and other jack-rack
filters. This would be very useful in a live situation to be able to punch
filters out and into the chain. It sounds like it ought to be easy, but I've
been knocking my head over it. I have set two footswitches to send CC-26 1
and CC-26 0 respectively. Then in jack-rack I bind the Enable button to MIDI
Controller 26 Min Value 0, Max Value 1. The good news is that when I hit the
CC 26 0 switch, if the enable switch for the filter is active, it goes off.
Half the battle won. But, I can't get the filter enable to go on with
anything I've tried. Using PD I've verified that the pedal is sending the CC
26 1, but still no joy.
Any clues or helpful hints?
You also need a recent version of jack-rack. Binding to Enable/Disable didn't work for
me, so I had to upgrade to 1.4.7-0ubuntu1 and all worked well from there. Also,
"off" is value < 64, and "on" is value > 64, so you need to set
your controller to do that.
