Re: Pedal recommendation?

I've fixed the issues and posted lucky build number 13 in the BETA thread.

It's not 100%. There are a couple of issues that I will need to look into in the future.
1. After power cycling, the bank can sometimes change without you pressing the footswitch.
2. After power cycling, sometimes you press a switch and the bank won't change the first time.

I suspect the issues are related, but I have to dig really deep into code that I haven't looked at in years. I'll save that for version 1.3.1.

As of build 13, this is working correctly, albeit with left and right switch swapped vis a vis the screen, but I can live with that. Thanks!

That would be nice. Maybe a short note in the manual for now, to avoid confusion for other users trying to set this up.

So now that the dual latch pedal works, I gotta say, this is probably the most underrated feature of the eDrumIn.
You basically get two pedals for the price of one. And that's cool. And here's why.
Sure, you can assign each switch to change banks on two different instruments. I did that; works a charm.
But... with careful configurations of the banks, you can set up the pedal to have one switch change the last instrument you tapped.
And... you can use the second switch to move your entire tom configuration up or down one step. All with one pedal. Whoah! Mind blown.

And if you have a secondary eDrumIn, you can put your Auxes on that, and use another pedal to change those independently.
The possibilities are endless. Thanks Rob, for creating this.

I finally got the dual latch footswitches synchronizing properly after a power cycle. Hurray!

I posted build 15. It should resolve all the remaining footswitch issues.

My decidedly crappy Casio sustain pedal now works beautifully. I’ve set it up next to the hihat to trigger stick count-ins.

Yes I play with Crocs. Don’t judge; these are difficult times.
