Idea behind X/Y-switching

  • Cliff: "The idea behind X/Y is that people often have multiple distortion/chorus/delay/etc. pedals on their board but they rarely have more than one on at a time. So rather than creating more instances of effects, which sucks up CPU, have each instance capable of more than one sound." Source

Switching, crossfading and spillover

  • Switching occurs at block level using a MIDI CC, not on preset level.
  • There's no crossfading when switching between X and Y.
  • X/Y doesn't support delay and reverb spillover. Source
  • The selected state of the effect (X or Y) is saved with the preset.
  • On the MFC-101 X is green, Y is red. If you prefer the default state to be green, use Y as the default state.

Configuring floor controllers

  • If you have an effect block with X/Y, you can configure the floor controller to turn on the effect in either X or Y mode. Source

    2. IA Switch 1, OFF message: DELAY 1 OFF, DELAY 1 X (CC#47:0, CC#106: 127)
    3. IA Switch 2, OFF message: DELAY 1 ON, DELAY 1 Y (CC#47:127, CC#106: 0)
    4. IA Switch 2, OFF message: DELAY 1 OFF, DELAY 1 Y (CC#47:0, CC#106: 0)
  • Use the controller's group/link feature.
