Hey,
Thanks for the reply. I also wrote to EHX and they were excellent and clarified that PCs could indeed be used to save presets as I described.
To save a preset at the preset 21 position using PC MIDI messages I do the following:
1. Send an appropriate PC Midi message to the HOG 2 (e.g. PC 21)
2. Hold down the Spectral Gate button for a couple of seconds on the HOG 2 to unload the preset and enter WYSIWYG mode
3. Save the preset in the current preset location by holding EXP. MODE button for 2 seconds.
This is a perfect work-around for me as I can not send the necessary CC midi messages with my current rig.
Apparently the only thing I can’t do with this is to edit a preset and save it to a new location. So if I like preset 21 after I load it but want to make a few minor changes and change it to preset 22, when I load preset 22 using MIDI PC, I will lose the changes I had made to preset 21.
BarneyBrownParticipantJRGreer and others,
I’m also interested in using the HOG 2 with midi but no foot controller.
In my current set-up I use Program Change (PC) messages to change presets on multiple pedals simultaneously.
As I understand it loading presets on HOG 2 is not a problem. I do though need clarification on how to use MIDI to save presets. In particular:
Did you establish if you can use a PC message to save a preset as you described above? i.e. use a PC message to go to a blank preset – and then save the current HOG 2 settings by holding the encoder button on the HOG 2? Or is sending a unique CC message the only way to use MIDI to save a preset?
As you say, the PC method would be A LOT more convenient than having to program my MIDI sender to send a specific CC message every time I wanted to save a preset.
