Hoping to add to this thread and maybe get a little light shedded on my issue. I'm trying to build a tap tempo for my Strymon Timeline that lives in a rack and this seemed to be an awesome solution... however with the latching switch I have the tap pedal on P2, set to my TL and sending a CC# 81 which is Strymons tap button. When I try and tap in a tempo the TL gets all confused and most of the time switches to LOOPER. Is this because its a latching switch? Any ideas?

If you understand MIDI and the difference between CC and PC messages the GCP is pretty simple to use. What are you trying to do? perhaps I can help.

Hey guys, Have a question I was hoping someone could help with.
I Currently have a rack set up using the CGX and controlling it all with a GCP. I've been looking to add an Eventide H9 to my board and would like to control it via midi through the GCP. To do so I was thinking of using Midi Solutions Quadra Thru to split the midi signal at the board so I could tee off to the H9 and also send another to the GCX. I'm powering the GCP thru the GCX and noticed in the manual also on the GCX it says only to plug in the GCP into the pedal input. Will adding a Quadra Thru in the mix cause any issues?

Hi John,
Thanks for the quick reply. I was not aware I could use the GCP in 10 preset mode to control the 8 GCX loops. I assume in doing so I can't then bypass the loops like a CC could? I'd ultimately need to have an empty loop on a PC message to call up which would act like "bypassing" the loop that's currently active with a stompbox.
Thanks for the help, I now have some soul searching to do to figure out if I want to use the 10 or 4 preset mode!

Hey Guys, Hoping to get a bit of insight into the inner workings of what I am trying to do. I've searched this thread found a few close posts but nothing hit the nail.
Like many people, I've fallen in love with the Strymon line, Mobius, Timeline, Big Sky, Volante. I tried using the Strymons solo on stage but it was a nightmare to try and bank up, down between songs so I picked up a GCP to help in this tap dance madness. What I wanted to achieve was to use the GCP like a pallet of sounds, All 10 buttons diffrent patches I could pull up on demand. To achieve this I've been using the 10 preset mode and setting each button to control whatever bank I wanted within the Strymons. In doing so I discovered I cannot "Bypass" the Strymon pedals with a PC message (excluding the Volante) so I created patches that were basicaly dry, called them "ByPass" and have a dedicated GCP button to call up the dry patch. The latest Mobius firmware now lets you create patches in a "Bypass" state which was amazing. OK so Its been a few years all is well... playing with 4 strymon pedals, a GCP, few expression and wah's my board is taking up too much room so I bought a GCX with plans to build a rig. I'd also like to incorporate 3-4 standalone pedals in my rig. So from what I understand In order to get the GCX loops working I need to be in the 4 preset - 8CC mode. From what I can gather the only way to call a patch up on the Strymons is doing a PC message? which leaves me with only 4 buttons to control all my Strymon presets? I'm thinking the way I want to preceed is having the top row 4 buttons control standalone pedals. Now I can use the next row of 4 to send CC message to actually "bypass" the 4 Strymon pedals, eliminating the need for fake dry patches... awesome. BUT am I really stuck with only 4 buttons to pull up all my 20-25 patches I use accross all the strymons? In a night I may use 8-10 patches on the Mobius, 2-3 delay patches and 2-3 reverbs. Am I missing something? Can I somehow assign a Mobius patch the a CC button? Or like I think am I stuck hitting bank up several times and trying to remeber my phaser is saved on Bank 6 preset 3?

Thanks for the help guys!! Loves me the voodoo
