replifex problem

[hirah5150]

so i redid my amp and have a weird problem.
i have a rocktron all access controlling my replifex. I have 1 patch the i use the ia to turn effects on and off.
everything works great except the reverb. if i program a patch to turn the reverb on, it doesn't turn on. It's set to turn the reverb input to active from muted.
i have to turn off the ia and step again to turn it on for the reverb to be active.
any thoughts?

Make a 2nd patch identical but instead of trying to program the bypass/active status, program the wet output to 0%.

thanks zachman. i was trying to not have to do that. it worked with the output to 0, but when it turned on, it stayed turned on when i switched patches.
I just made another patch to change when i call up clean.

It should depend on how the machine wants the CCs switch status to be.
Some units need a CC with value 64 or above (the upper half of the 128 steps MIDI range value for a CC) to trigger a change of status. That means a CC#x with values 64 or above will trigger the effect on and the next time you send it, the fx will go off.
This work as a trigger, not a switch.

Other machines need a CC value to stay in the upper range for ON and to stay in the lower range for OFF. So you need to send CC#x with a value of 64 or above and it has to stay there, not going back to 0... for ON. The next command will have to be a value from 0 to 63 and stay there... for OFF. This works like a switch.
It all depends on the MIDI controller you are using. If the switches are configurable as unlatched or unlatched, you can get what you need.

On some units, the analog signal is NOT processed through the AD/DA converters, and setting output to 0 can present a "levels" problem vs setting the wet to 0%.

Glad the solution worked for you.
