FXL8 Pro : Great switcher but MIDI issues

10 years ago

I bought this for its size and price to replace a GigRig Pro14, its a perfect size to fit into the Rockcase RC 23010B with a little room to spare for an input/output box beside it.

The problem: I have a Whammy 5 not in a loop, in front of the switcher, so need to program Program Changes to switch it off for every patch where I don't want it on. There seems to be a memory capacity issue for this. Very often I will program a Control Change message on a patch in bank 7 or 8 and then switch back to a patch in bank 1 or 2 and the Program Change has been corrupted, so the Whammy stays on. Not great and a real pain. If they got this sorted, for the price this would be a perfect switcher!
