Great stuff!
I'm setup to do this, although I haven't been
intimate with my EDPs in almost a month due to personal and work-related time
constraints. I'll try my best to explain what I've done:
Basically, I use NOTE mode for all the banks to
control the EDPs. Controller mode on the FCB1010 is no bueno for the
EDPs.
The 00 bank and the 01 bank have the same notes
assigned to the FCB1010 pedals. Bank 00 will control both EDPs, bank 01
will control just my "master" EDP. You'll see how in just a
second.
The 02 bank has the same functions, but driven by
notes which are +46 notes higher than bank 00 and bank 01.
My "Source #" parameter is set at 36 (the default)
on both EDP's when I want to control both of them at once (via bank
00)
If I want to "separate" the EDPs, and control them
separately (via banks 01 and 02), I set the "Source #" parameter on the second
EDP to 82. Then, bank 01 will control EDP #1 because it is listening to
notes 36 thru 81, and bank 02 will control EDP #2 because it is now listening to
notes 82 thru 127. See pages 44 and 45 of the Loop IV upgrade manual to
understand the note offsets for any DirectMIDI command.
Works well, although switching banks to get between
EDP #1 and EDP #2 is part of the trick.
I wish that there was a DirectMIDI-way to change
the "Source #" parameter, so I could just have a pedal on bank 00 or 01 to set
it to 82 (and another to set it back to 36). No go. Unfortunately,
"Source #" is also not one of the parameters that is saved as part of an EDP
preset. So, I have to reach out and move to the "Source #" parameter, and
then use the Feedback knob to get to 82 (or back to 36) quickly.
*Gasp* at having to touch the knobs!! It's so....
neanderthal!! :)
Side note: I moved the LoopTrig parameter
below 36 to get it out of the way and avoid interference with this
approach. I don't use it (currently), so I can't remember where I put it
:)
