Send MIDI codes individually for each preset #94

Hi, Thanks very good for this great app.

I'm very happy with it and it is by far way better than the official.

I use it very often because I built a MIDI controller (https://github.com/alf45tar/PedalinoMini) and it's very convenient to use with the remote option of this app.

I configured some custom presets in the app, and I'm able to access them sending next and prev settings code, but I find sometimes quite difficult to find the correct setting as it may be in a different folder.

I would suggest as an enhancement if is possible tobbe able to assign a midi code to each saved preset (instead using prev/next)!so it would be possible to call them directly as it happens with the channels.

I would very much appreciate it as it would unleash a very good and convenient feature.

Thanks a lot Pablo

Hi, Pablo! I agree that the option to to directly assign presets to MIDI controller buttons would be quite usefull for people with lots of spare buttons on their controllers. That said, did you consider a quick workaround using the app's existing functionality of disabling some of the 7 available presets that you don't need for a particular song so that the next/prev midi commands have fewer presets to cycle through? I normally have all 7 presets set up but only use 2 or 3 presets for a song and I can switch between them quickly with next/previous. Another option that drastically expands the functionality is to assign the commands to enable/disable drive and modulation fx to extra buttons. With this I can normally get away with having just 2 presets with two different amps (one clean amp used as a pedal platform and one for heavy riffing) by enabling and disabling OD pedal, Rotary effect or delay in each preset depending on solo/rythm/interlude situation.

Hi UN-DRE,

Thanks for your comment and your suggestion. Yes, I had thought on that but I didn't want to mess with the original settings, and overwriting them as I like the default ones also.

About the other suggestion, yes, I have a bank for the FX and is very cool indeed to be able to enable/disable, and even change effects, amps...

Anyway, in my opinion being able to expand the channels by calling individual presets would be super.
