DSP Bypass using a Controller

[Geo]

I have set up a Controller knob to allow a Tone's DSP effect to be bypassed.

That works fine. The Tone is in UPPER 1 and DSP can be switched off and on as required.

 

In some situations I would prefer the DSP to be 'OFF' when I select a Registration.

Then operate the Controller knob to turn it on when required.

Even if I store a Registration when the DSP is bypassed it will not retain that setting.

I guess that's understanable since Tones get called up with their programmed settings  i.e. with DSP enabled.

 

Anyone know how to save a Registration with a 'dry' Tone, then use a Controller to swich it's DSP on?

Which tone and which DSP effect?  There is another way I am sure.

Brad,

I need to check this out with various Tones and DSP effects.

But I doubt if it matters which Tone or which DSP.

 

It's just the fact that the 'DSP Bypass' has two modes - On or Off.

Off means the DSP is active.

On means the DSP is inactive.

Despite trying to save a Registration with it in the ON mode, it actually saves it in the OFF mode.

 

 Maybe there is some other way.  I'd like to find it !

This should be done by creating user tones with the DSP effect wet parameter set to zero.  Then use a knob to to bring up the wet level. That's the smoothest way to do it.

I have given this a try as follows - without success.

 

The Tone I'm using is a HexLayer.

In the DSP section I set the 'wet' adjustment to zero.

Then, for K1 Controller area, chose the 'wet' function.

Yes, the knob does indicate that the DSP 'wet' level is changing.

However, the change is not to the DSP; it changes the VOLUME of the Tone from 0 to 127.

 

I would have expected that the DSP aspect only would be adjusted.

Have I done something wrong or have I uncovered a problem ?

Oops.  I forgot to mention you'll need to use both targets of a knob. One for wet level, the other for dry level. Reverse the min max values to achieve a crossfade.

Great !  We go there !

Many thanks BradMZ for the info.

 

My ideal solution would be just an ON/OFF control, but this solution is acceptable.

Since it takes a full 360 degrees of a knob (K1,2,3) to apply the full DSP effect, I prefer to assign the Mod-Wheel.

 

This has been a good bit of online education.

Hope it's helped some others.
