Boss FS7 Footswitch
When using the FS7 as an Aux Switch, the FS7 needs to be powered in order for it to work as a momentary switch.

HX Stomp
On using MIDI Clock with the HX Stomp
Question: I have been trying to setup the specular tempus and am having difficulties with the midi clock. For some reason it is doubling my time. When I do it on the pedal it works fine. But when I do it from the controller it changes to double time. Any idea what it could be?
Answer: Turn midi transmit off in global settings on the stomp. I was running my mc8 into the stomp and out to the tempus via midi out/thru. I believe it says TFew readersQuantiloop
On getting Momentary switch functionality in the App
It turns out Quantiloop is backwards. I can get full functionality as a momentary switch by programming in the editor a CC value of 127 on press and CC value of 0 on release all.Few readersiConnectivity

These MIDI interfaces will not interface with the MC3/6/8 when the Keyboard interface firmware used. This is not an issue with the MC3/6/8.

Source Audio Collider
Lag in audio when changing presets
With two DSPs to clear out, then load in the next engines, there’s double the amount of work the pedal has to do to lose presets, especially compared to the nemesis (one DSP) or the ventris in single mode (two DSPs but only using one when in single mode, otherwise in dual mode it has the same lag as collider, which is always in dual mode given the 2 unique sides of the pedal). So it’s unfortunately not something we can get aroFew readersEventide
H9
MIDI Connection
MIDI connection does not work when the H9 is connected to the computer via USB. USB needs to be plugged before the MIDI ports will work on the H9.
Output Volume
The Output Volume function does not boost the volume. It just sets the output volume from 0 - 100%.Few readersApple
Logic Pro
By default, Logic Pro mirrors in coming MIDI messages back to connected MIDI devices. So, if you are sending a MIDI channel on the same channel as your controller, your controller might respond to the MIDI message being sent (whether changing channels if its is a PC message etc). This option needs to be turned off, or your MIDI controller needs to be set to an independent MIDI channel.Few readersLoopy Pro App
Delay when using MIDI to trigger app functions
If using CC messages to trigger functions with the MIDI Learn feature, Loopy Pro expects a CC value 127 and value 0 message. If you are only sending a CC value 127 message, Loopy Pro will see it as a switch being held down and the MIDI Learn feature will adjust as such:

Opus
There is a delay when changing presets on the Opus, when sending a PC message.
In the video below, the Opus is connected directly to the Timeline MIDI Thru port. Both are responding to the same PC message on the same channel. You can see that the Opus takes longer to change presets as compared to the Timeline.Few readersStrymon
