Not to sound dumb but I'm still fairly new to the midi thing. Where would I put the data value number? How would I get to that in the GCP.

I have seen that chart and still can't believe that the unit functions in this manner... even though after your previous post I see that the chart says exactly that... it toggles on any data value. This is so completely uncommon.

Un-like a Program Change message, a Control Change message has a data value associated with it. The data value ranges from 0-127. This is what allows a Control Change message to be used for expression control, literally counting each step between 0-127. For effect block bypass, processors usually respond to two data ranges with 0-63 being the Bypass state and 64-127 being the Active state.

The Data value is hard coded on the Ground Control Pro... an Instant Access button sends a Data Value of 127 when the LED is turned on and a Data Value of 0 when the LED is turned off.

The problem here is not that you need to be able to program this functionality, its that the POD HD Pro simply flops the state of the effect whenever there is any data activity on the assigned Control Change number. There is no way around this problem with the unique way the POD HD Pro is responding to Control Change messages.

Just spoke to Line 6 and they said 0-63 will be on and 64 to 127 is off. where do i place these values in the GCP?

Thanks for the help. Guess I will have to hope this is changed in the next update.

...probably because even they can't believe it actually works the way you have observed ;)

My prediction is that there will likely be POD HD Pro re-update in the future... one could hope at least!

Haha. Very true. I cannot believe they missed this. I guess they assume everyone will use their floorboard, amp, and Variax. There will be an update. I will hound them until they do. Haha. Such a huge oversight on their part.

At least I wasn't as dumb as I thought. I was doing everything correctly. The POD HD Pro just wasn't reading my messages loud and clear.
