FootSmart

Introduction

The MC6Pro has many kinds of messages. FootSmart supports a very small subset of these in two different ways:

• Messages that are available within the config file.
• Messages that are used internally, but not available within the config file.

Config File Messages

FootSmart allows a few types of messages within a config file:

• PC and CC MIDI Messages: these two appear in device definitions
• Delay Messages: delay for a number of milliseconds (must be a multiple of 10). They also are in device definitions.
• Jump to Bank Messages: Every bank has a name, and FootSmart automatically creates a jump to bank message based on that name. The message is Bank   plus the bank name. For example, for a bank named Home, the message would be Bank Home.
• Page Up/Down: FootSmart automatically creates two messages for navigating pages: Next Page and Previous Page

Internal Messages

There are a few more message types used internally, but not available within the config file:

• Temporarily Rename Preset: used in the implementation of scroll and cycle presets.
• Set Number of Messages to Scroll: Set the number of messages to scroll, used to implement scroll presets. It may be used one day for cycle messages, but now is not.
• Reverse Scroll Direction: used to implement reversing direction for a long press on scroll and cycle presets.
• Engage Preset: used to implement group messages - the group is implemented as a preset in an unused bank (after all the used banks), and engage preset is used to trigger it.
