MS-3 Quick Start Chapter7: Changing the BANK with the External Footswitch (SYSTEM Setting)

[@bradspence702]

So nice straight point, no bs person trying to be cute or funny just right to the point.

[@jonathancotton]

i’ve set up an external footswitch for bank up/down switching, but when i click it, it starts scrolling the banks crazily. what am i doing wrong?

[@Nabilabdullah]

You didnt do anything wrong, the switch is the wrong type. You need a normally closed switch. What you have is probably a normally open switch.

[@gjdavies50]

Might need to change the polarity so it's not normally closed.

So it is possible to use de external foot to assign more presets? Like using a ms-7. Can i instead of have presets 1 to 4 in the ms3 i have 6 presets? Is that possible?

[@Alejandro1956]

Ok, I followed the procedure exactly. But instead of the FS-7 I have the Boss dual FS-6, which has 3 inputs: A, A&B, B Plugging a TRS cable into A&B doesn't work. Then I tried a three-end cable that has 2 mono plugs and 1 TRS. One mono end to input A, the other to input B and the TRS end to the MS-3. It doesn't work either. While I get a FS-7 I found a solution for mysel using limited number of banks, because with this option you go up until you reach the last Bank and return to the first choosen I had a Boss FS-5U (latch) footswitch. Put polarity towards the input jack side and use a regular patch cable In my case and for now, I am only using 2 Banks, then first I limited how far the banks go up before returning to the first MENU: PLAY -(Page 2) - BNKMIN 01 - BNKMAX 02 PREFERENCE - Page 4 > set CTLIN 3 and CTLIN 4 to System (or 1 and 2 of your choice) Then EXIT to return to the PLAY screen, press EDIT Go to last icon CTL, then select CTLN3, set Bank minus (-) - toggle - off>on ..and CTLN4 set Bank plus (+) - toggle - off> on So, each time I press the FS I rotate between BANK 1 and 2 This same procedure if you use more than 2 Banks

Changing the BANK with the External Footswitch in mode WAIT, it's possible?

Have the MS-3.... just ordered the fs-7.... I plan on using the fs7 for a dedicated bank up/down but there's something I don't like about it as I watch the video.... it looks like when you go up (or down) a bank with the fs7 footswitch, it automatically selects the patch on that bank without being able to choose which patch. For example, if you're in bank 1, patch 1 and want to go up to bank 2, it will automatically select bank 2 patch 1 instead of letting you choose which preset... am I correct in this? If so, that's weak! I'd much rather see the bank go up (or down) when the fs7 is used, and then press which preset from that bank I want to load.... make sense? Can this happen?

Liked the video...

[@bluegrayarmorgreen]

使用するケーブルはステレオケーブルで、FS-7はスイッチを押したときだけオープンになる設定。ご留意を。

[@V8LC100]

So do we have to assign EVERY SINGLE PATCH to the control out for bank up and down? You can’t be serious? Why can’t we set this once for all patches??

[@natederbs]

No, the point of going into global preference editing and changing CTL IN3 and CTL IN4 from PATCH to SYSTEM is to make footswitch work to change banks from any patch.
