This is something we have deliberated over for many hours. The problem with double press or long press is that the desired response from footswitches is activation on press. Meaning that if the footswitch is assigned to a parameter then it will be activated instantly as soon as the switch is pressed down, not when it is released. So if you used double press or long press then the parameter would first be activated and then when it detects the second press or long press it would deactivate it as it now interprets a different intention of the press. If the switch was assigned to a fuzz pedal, this would result in a short burst of fuzz on and off while you attempt to change the page. The only way this could work is if the footswitches had activation on release but this makes it much harder to time you presses.
The current plan is to have 2 modes.
Footswitch A is used for pagination while B and C are assignable
A,B and C are assignable with no pagination.
Currently only “1.” is available. You’re suggestion fits with “2.” but unfortunately double press and long press won’t work but we might try something else like having the option to change A+B press from tools to pagination etc
I have my rig (pedalboard) that contains all I need for a live stage. I setup 12 snapshots to cover all needs.
In a situation where I’m playing with snapshot #1 and I need to jump to my “boost” snapshot #10 in 1 second, I would need to scroll all the snapshots to reach #10, risking to skip it by mistake and then go back and retry. Not usable!
Moreover, snapshots assignment should be at snapshot level, not pedalboard level: if I am at snapshot #1, I can select snapshot #5 (switch B) and #7 (switch C). Once I move, let’s say, to snapshot #5, I can move to #9 (switch B) and #3 (switch C). And so on.
This will avoid complex rig (pedalboard) duplication and give extreme flexibility.
It seems not possible at the moment to have trails/spillover on snapshot change (unless you use an external reverb). Nowadays this is a must have for most of guitar players who wants an all-in-one device.
Need MIDI assign to have selectable MIDI out so programs and controllers can update any changes - such as TouchOSC.
And if you are being super cool how about each snap shot changes fires off ALL MIDI cc’s that have been mapped at once back out so it syncs up on TouchOSC
No need to tag me. I will read over pretty much everything anyway
EDIT: I also changed the tittle of the thread. Hope that is fine. The idea is to make it a sort of database of feature requests more related with the Dwarf
To really can manage the snapshots (re-order with the GUI) and save & re-order without the GUI.
It’s very important to can use the dwarf without laptop.
It would be nice to be able to rotate/select IRs from the device–like be able to rotate through the IRs from the device without the use of a computer by using a dial. (Hate to say it but like how Helix does it).
Add an “undo” option to the Web interface. For example, I have accidently deleted a plugin when I meant to hit the gear icon to edit.
Move the pedal jacks/inputs/outputs a bit further apart on the pedal icons. I have been getting a lot of accidental mono-to-stereo when I don’t want them because of how close or how small the icons are. If the jacks were further away it would be a lot easier to get it right the first time. And on complex patches it can be tricky to undo the cables correctly.
I am not sure if this exists because I thought I remember seeing it in a demo video, but a one click button to turn off all the effects would be great.
I think you could put the “menu” in the “tool” setting along with the tuner and tap tempo. This would free the left button. See 5.
It has been killing me to have to click through seven times to get back to the previous pedal options. This option could be an assignable tool–either to a dial or button or combination. For example, I would be fine with pressing/holding what is currently the “menu” button in order to activate a master control in order to turn a dial so I could rotate backwards and forward between pedal options. Another option is to have a “tweak” mode where you can edit patches and a “play” mode where you can easily pull up plugins and patches. This would be similar to the snapshot option but more focused on stacking individual pedals in real time that pre-made patches. I hope this makes sense.
I hope there will be a reconsideration of how the current layout works in order to get each stomp pedal focused on turning a plugin on/off
Thanks for listening and considering. Keep up the great work.
I believe that this is possible. You can map encoders to scroll on lists.
2 and 3 are going to the requests list.
You can do these using CV plugins. Use the Control to CV plugin, map the button to control it, create a CV port and map all the parameters that you want to switch with that button to that CV control. For more info on how to set the CV controls check this wiki page.
5 saved as request/suggestion.
I’m not sure if I understood well 6, but I’m saving it too.
Do you mean allowing the footswitch A to be assignable?
Do the feature requests and possible implementations refer only to the dwarf or to ModDeviece devices in general, apart from the possible hardware differences of the individual devices?
Will the different devices get different software development in the future?
Does it make sense to create a separate “feature requests” thread for Mod Duo / Mod Duo X?
Issues/Requests will in 99% of cases apply to all units.
Though due to time constraints future releases will be Dwarf-only for the time being.
We will get back to making them available for Duo / Duo X later on
