Is this too much to ask for?
2 fx units dedicated to ONLY macro fx and 4 of the standard fx units.
Yes
Get a third X1 and just map each FX knob to selec a specific FX while being turned… or a button… or whatever you might please. Just map the shit out of your hardware and everything’s possible.
Yes, Yes it is…
Use VDJ Pro, you can have as many “macro” effects as you like with as many different effects as you like, and if you use the Windows OS you can also use almost any VST that you like.
You would use all the FX units?
Why not just make some FX preset’s and Map them to a button? Surely you aren’t going to be using all the FX at the same time.
I don’t think I’ve found myself in a situation where I’ve needed to add more than two effects to a track. It tends to sound muddy/overkill :S Less is More
I don’t use them all at once but having my k2 mapped to midi fighter and pots and faders mapped to the same fx but I’m tired of scrolling through the big list (and sometimes passing an fx that I want lol). I could just take unused fx out. I might just map a specific knob to load the fx as well. And also I hate the macro fx knob on the z2. Can I remap the z2? Might just make it control fx bank 4 and put an echo freeze with third parameter control on the button.
You know you can set buttons to recall effects presets right as opposed to scrolling through the list right?
