MESS pedal How to set specific range on expression pedal

Mess
1

Hello to everyone.

I have the 1.2 firmware installed.

I was able to assign parameters to my Source Audio expression pedal.

Please help me I want to set specific range on my expression pedal for example:

Track 4:

Lowest setting 10% Mix

Higher setting: 40% Mix

Right now it goes from -100 to 100% when moving it. Of course it moves gradually but I wish to do it within an assignable range.

The Gemini A.I. tells me about a Modulation Matrix within the Mess Settings which seems.doesn’t exist.

Any help appreciated.

P.S. I totally love the Mess User Interfase and the sounds and tweaking possiblities.

Asking AI about studio gear (especially newish gear) will typically give inaccurate information.

Agree. I always tell it to cite sources.

I am very satisfied with my Mess unit.

Been tweaking and fine tunning my User presets. First time embracing reverb fxs… i come from the 80s where Reverbs used to be rack units and never quite like Boss Reverbs.

To be fair Gemini did guide me into requiring a Micro sd adapter for actually downloading the firmware. I am a caveman regarding tech stuff, eventhough i am functional specimen in music fxs.:grinning_face:

Does anyone know how I can get a response from Polyend for my question regarding Expression Pedal assigned specific range on a given fx mix or any other parameter?

Help appreciated.

Keep rocking.

Hi there @rologibson, and welcome to Backstage!

That is not possible to do within the MESS and usually is a feature you’d find in software or on the pedal itself. My pedal has a switch that can change the control value between unipolar and bipolar and has a knob that sets the range of the value.

You could also run it through a DAW that has good MIDI capabilities. With Cubase I know you can set min and max range and/or use a MIDI compressor to control the range of your CCs.

Thank you. I was afraid that it wasn’t possible.

Being certain about our own gear and using its full potential is what most of us try to do.

I can also just Duplicate my presets, one with less Effect Mix and a second one with more.

All is good, I am thankful for discovering the Polyend Mess.

I knew it could upgrade my fx sounds, I am accomplishing that each time i learn more how to use it.

Thank you for responding.

Always a pleasure to help and please feel free to ask anything anytime here. It’s a real Fun Pedal to explore and the new firmware makes it that much better! Hope you have downloaded and updated your MESS :slight_smile:

It would be really great if this was possible in MESS itself. Many expression pedals only allow to change the lower limit of the parameter range, but in some effects it would be helpful to define e.g. only a 20% change, or e.g. in the micro looper only between 1/4 and 1/16 notes… Maybe we should place a feature request for that…
