heya guys,
couple (maybe) midi questions.. probably noob questions too
i'm running a Splawn QR, switching amp channels and a few pedals via Rocktron Patchmate and Rocktron Midimate. i've got that working great, programmed it all up. recently good a good deal on a somewhat sketchy behringer multi-effects unit. by sketchy, i mean i'm pretty sure its not anywhere near as good as tc helicon, lexicon, etc, etc. worst case, it was super cheap, and should be fun to play with. if i like the concept, i can save up for a decent one. i know the midi cabling part of it, but not sure what i'm doing with multiple devices. do they all need to be on the same channel, or different channels? my understanding of the Midimate from reading the owners manual (8 months ago) is that i can switch on up to 16 devices at once, all on different channels. not sure if i am mistaken on that or not. ultimately i would end up saving patches for various combinations of my amp channels, my pedals in the rack, and the multi-efx. hoping to get some insight on the subject before i spend 3 hours accomplishing nothing and then hafta ask.
thanks a million
