EJ's UNO2 files
|
In the FILES/EJ's UNO2 folder I've posted UNO2 Configuration files and Instructions for the following devices and amp sims:
AXE FX II/III Helix Rack/Floor/Stomp Amplitube 4/5 Guitar Rig 4/5/6? S-Gear TH3/THU Reaper S8 Looper If anyone actually tries any of these, or has any questions, I'd LOVE to hear from you! Latest greatest posted 2/21/21. 128 Presets (thanks for the tip @ossandust!) Added Looper Functions to Helix. 2/22/21 Added Looper functions to THU. 2/24/21 GR5 Loop Machine now works. 2/26/21 Added Reaper S8 Looper |

I may try optimizing the code, especially on the Amp Sims, but I'm not optimistic.The fun thing with UnO2 is that you have many ways to get to the same result. In your sample setup you decided to have the same presets in all banks, and use conditional logic to check which bank you are currently in. This way you are actually programming the bank logic which is already available in the firmware. When I omitted that logic from your setup and used the built-in bank structure instead, by simply creating 95 presets spread over 19 banks, I could reduce setup memory from 97.5% to 67.5%, or increase the setup from 95 presets in 19 banks to 168 presets in 34 banks. ( It's one example of where the "dynamic" memory structure can be advantageous : if you only need 1 MIDI message per preset, you will be able to have more presets than the 100 of a standard FCB1010 setup. The other opposite is when you need fewer presets than what the standard FCB1010 offers - in that case you can have much more MIDI messages in each preset. ) |

Thanks for the tip.
I didn't realize that the conditional logic would take up more space than many more lines of fixed values. What I get for being self-taught, I don't know as much as I think I know! Though, I have to say, working out the conditional logic was a lot more fun than the drudge line by line entry! At least, now that I've done the drudge work I can use copy paste to mod the files I posted! |

Yes, my guess is the more variables you create, the more memory you need where hardcoding things although involves more data entry but takes up less space.
I was thinking of actually using Bank * PC + offset as a formula for calculating the PC number to send on a given bank where you have separate variables for each bank.. |

I’m followig different discussions and advice here now for a while. I need to do the following: As a guitar teacher, get some basic switch functions in Guitar Rig 6 and FCB1010. (Firmware 2.5.0) (Was used to Guitar Rig 5 and Rig Pedal 2) I understand that Rig 6 is not offering too much midi functionality, and even the fortunate one’s with Rig Pedal 3 have their troubles with Rig 6. So correct me if I’m wrong: I need Uno 2 firmware upgrade and editor ( €50,=), and , since my Midi-interface (E-MU Xmidi 2x2, powered by Firewire, on Mac Pro Mojave) is giving these timeout’s on the testpage: https://www.fcb1010.eu/commcheck_uno2.html I also need a better Midi-interface. (Any advice would help?) BTW, I see some E-MU Xmidi stuff in combination with Windows is working. Will I then be able, with the help of this; 'Instructions for GR5 UNO2.txt’, made possible by E.J Sheldon (Thanks!) to do basic pedalboard stuff with the FCB1010 and Guitar Rig 6? Hopefully I’m complete, thanks in advance! Regards, Jeroen

Hi Jeroen!
I don't have GR6, they're not getting any more of my money until they have enough new amps (the old one's mostly suck IMO), and if they've diminished their once best in class MIDI implementation, I may never upgrade. I'm currently struggling in GR5 to get the Looper working. No problem in Helix and THU. I'm waiting to hear from NI Support on why the Looper doesn't properly respond to MIDI. OK, I DL'd the GR6 manual. It looks like they've changed how you view things, but the added ability to save an effect's MIDI settings as GLOBAL for that effect actually seems like an improvement. The main change seems to be that the CONTROLLERS screen is gone, so you need to right-click on each parameter, then use LEARN, choose whether you want to save the settings as GLOBAL for the effect, then save the preset. Assuming that this means you can re-use CCs, it's an improvement. The configuration I've posted to EJ's UNO2 allows for 9 controllers in the DIRECT bank. Everything should work as in GR5, and using UNO2 vs UNO, you have 9 controllers vs 5 in UNO, and access to the full 128 presets in each bank. It's unclear from the GR5/GR6 manuals if there's a way to do Bank Changes via MIDI. I couldn't get that to work in GR5, but I really should try again. As to the Loop Machine, it looks like they removed it in GR6. Maybe because it didn't work properly and they didn't think enough people used it? Who knows. I'll ask support if they ever get back to me. |

Hi EJ,

Thanks alot for time and effort. These functions you mention would be enough for me. BTW, I find Rig 6 better sounding then 5. I know the community is screaming for better MIDI functions especcially concerning Bank Changes. They are hoping for an update. Anyways, I’ll do the UNO2 upgrade and keep you informed. Thanks again! Regards, Jeroen

Hey EJ!
I'm still new to this and got my controller installed with your guitar rig 5 file. Why can't the expression pedals work? Thanks in advance! Alex |

Did you assign a New Controller in the GR5 Preset and LEARN the assignment? Don't forget to save the preset!
See attached screenshot. |

I've actually just started using guitar rig 6... There is no option, that i can see for pedal. When I run midi monitor, it also doesn't show any movement. What else can be done?
Thanks! |

What MIDI Interface are you using? Latest drivers?
When you run MidiMonitor, do the other footswitches work? If YES, then there may be a problem with the Expression pedals. Per page 52 of the UNO2 Manual, the method for re-calibrating the Expression pedals is the same as for the stock chip. See the Behringer FCB1010 Manual for directions. Read carefully, it's kind of a PITA. If NO, are you sure that you have the MIDI Ports configured correctly in SETUP? Are you sure that the configuration file downloaded correctly in the Editor (MIDI Ports set up properly, success message)? Are you using GR6 Standalone or in Ableton? Try configuring it in Standalone Mode. Make sure that the FCB (probably named after your interface) is activated in whatever GR6 calls its Audio/MIDI Settings. As for Guitar Rig 6, I decided not to update until NI comes out with an update that takes them back out onto the playing field. Version 6 is not that. I've also dumped BIAS Amp/FX for the same reason (also I hate their business model). I currently use Helix Native (also have the HW), THU (Rig Captures and the new Super Cab are AWESOME) And Amplitube5 (getting better all the time). GR6 has changed just enough that I had to look at the manual. Section 17.2.1 and .2 address MIDI Mappings and the LEARN function. Check all of the above and get back. |
