I am new to midi controllers and have just purchased a Zoom 8050 having seen a few threads that mentioned them and their small footprint was exactly what I preferred to sit alongside my GR55.

I have the patch change feature working fine and have also been able to assign CC changes to my patches but I have to press the pedal twice for the change to take effect.   Is that normal or have I missed something?

Currently , I have CC changes set with 'latched' rather than 'unlatched' against the pedal action.   

Edit.   Problem solved.  Seems that the GR55 patch  setting has to be 'momentary' rather than 'toggle' - seems strange but change occurs with a single press.

Just have to figure how to set up the external expression pedals now.

Remember this switch info

Which Footswitch assignment do I need? .. Latch or Unlatch?


VG/GR/GP/GT Processor assign  [toggle] + MIDI CC# Action  [Latch] = double latching, pedal requires 2 presses to do one function (effect on/off)

VG/GR/GP/GT Processor assign  [toggle] +  MIDI CC# Action    [Moment] = press once to toggle effect on/off, pedal led only lights while held down

VG/GR/GP/GT Processor assign  [moment] +  MIDI CC# Action    [moment] = effect only on while pedal held down, pedal led only on while held down

VG/GR/GP/GT Processor assign   [moment] +  MIDI CC# Action    [Latch] = press once to toggle effect on/off, pedal led toggles with effect status

Thanks Elantric, those variables are really useful to know.
