Members elliseye Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 i've got a h&k triamp mk1 with the msm-1 midi module. well to be honest the amp is great but i really only use two channels and the footswitch is absolutely enormous and i'd like to slim everything down to one footswitch that i can switch between two of the channels with. (1A and 3B specifically) i was curious if there was a way to use some type of midi switch to actually do that. i'm entirely clueless on midi and the wikipedia page just confuses the hell out of me. so if anyone thinks they can help it'd be much obliged. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members starsnuffer Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yes. You can get something tiny like the g-minor or tech21 midi mouse. The msm is easy to configure. You just press the midi button, change the preset on your footswitch, then press the midi button again. -W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members elliseye Posted July 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 so i can literally go from 1a to 3b with one button? that's really what i want that would be amazing if it will do that. i was almost considering selling the amp cuz i couldn't really go back and forth too well.

Members thinkpad20 Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 You just press the midi button, change the preset on your footswitch, then press the midi button again. Seems pretty simple For example, go to channel 1a, then hit the midi button, then go to preset "1" on the mouse, then hit the MIDI button. Then go to channel 3b, and do the same thing except choose preset "2" on the mouse. Now, the MSM will have "learned" that preset 1 means channel 1a, and preset 2 means channel 3b. At that point, all you need to do is use the midi mouse to change between preset 1 and 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thinkpad20 Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 Glad you got it figured out. I'd hate to see someone sell an amp they loved because of something like a switching issue. And now, you can get yourself a midi-controlled FX interface and get some effects patches to go along with your channels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
