BIAS FX 2 MIDI control
-
i am thinking buy the following http://www.daelectronics.com/home.html controller as a solution for auto wah
-
Wow, that sounds painful...I was just about to do a livestream of installing it, might now now
-
Man install has been waiting 5 minutes already
Sometimes it takes forever not sure what thats about -
I just did a live stream, not sure I would even bother watching it.
Install took forever
CPU use is WAY improved, however:
If MIDI is involved, CPU use is INSANE! RT CPU 45% of a very powerful i7!
Couldn't figure out how to assign the wah pedal position
Assigning a toggle to the wah froze the plugin
The snapshot function is AWESOME and switches fast!
I don't think this is ready yet, needs to some serious looking at

@pipelineaudio You made mention earlier of a midi VST that may be able add some functionality to BFX2... I was thinking of downloading the “Shape-Shifter” VST. I recently switched from using Ableton Live 10 to Gig Performer. BTW, I figured out how to get the Wah functioning. Right click on the Wah itself, and it will bring up the controls. Why it is that you set the MIDI on/off of the Wah in a completely different page and format than where you set the MIDI control of the Wah... ???
-
@pipelineaudio And it was the same with me... I have a powerful octa-core I-7 with 32g of ram and a SSD hard drive, but it still took FOREVER to load! I stopped it once because I thought it had froze. But no... It’s just a REALLY slow process.

Nice I got lucky, did not have to wait as long as everyone else. Just need a controller now

You can actually script auto engage for the wah in Gig Performer. However, last Bias FX version (1), wah on off was actually a toggle, not actually on or off, so you could get in some trouble depending what the last set state was.
MSchnell made a JS plug called "Midi Auto Engage" you can use to auto engage wahs if you are in REAPER, or use ReaJS if you are in another DAW, but Gig Performer will definitely get you there
-
Very disappointing... why did we have to wait for this limited functionality? And every time you use a pedal and change the preset it pops up a dialog box making it impossible to use without the mouse. Argh what a waste of money. Going back to my UAD amps and pedals. All hype, no delivery....☹️
-
@pipelineaudio Thanks for the info! Just starting to wrap my head around Gig Performer.

After playing with this for a few hours, I can say that I am 90% happy with the MIDI implementation. It does most of what I need as far as preset switching and scene switching. There are really 2 main issues I see: the wah is a little wonky... seems rushed. and using scenes/vol/presets gives me a random "do you wish to save" pop-up... But for the basics - which is all I need... I'm pretty happy.
-
@paul-jones32 yup - score
-
Do scenes act funny to anyone else? If I chose one, I cant seem to mod it, like if I click on the scene number it turns scenes off and then goes to a random scene
-
They are odd to get used to... maybe I have not figured out how to actually set them up... but I have a few that seem to work well.

Hello, after a lot of investigation, i am able to use the wah pedal with auto engage on ipad.
I am using a 3rd party software (midifire) and it is available for Mac OS, also. So, this might be useful for anyone using Mac or Ios.
Here is video i created
Bias FX for iPad auto engage wah pedal -
@pipelineaudio same weird stuffs to me. Seems like when u click on the screen he go back to sceen number 00

Hello,
Also i have problem with midi automation. Bias FX 2 can't remember assigned midi parameters after reseting DAW. It's little annoying. Anyone faced this before? Any workaround?
Thanks.

a little bug, when you are in "pedalboard" vue mode, leds on the effetcs don't works if ordered by midi.

Midi problem is really annoying. I want to sell it or trade with another guitar product.
Midi not well implemented. It's not impossible to use at stage...
