Footswitch for cool ability to change kits...
Rev2010:
I'm not talking about changing the kits inside the module but rather changing to different VST kits. I was thinking how awesome it would be for us to, for example, go from our regular DFH Superior kit to the Latin Percussion BFD kit at the press of a switch. We like to do some weird things right in the middle of the song so this would greatly expand our abilities.
Now, the way I figure we'd do this is simply to setup all the trigger (under instrument) in the DM10 for a particular kit on one midi channel. Then setup two switches, one forward and one back, to change kits in the DM10. The next kit would have all the triggers set to a different midi channel. In Cubase I would set DFH Superior to only read midi channel 1 for example and the second kit to only read midi channel 2. This way when I switch kits in the DM10 I am now essentially controlling different kits in Cubase, I just have to have them all loaded and record enabled first.
I'm looking for a footswitch that is either two switches with one stereo cable or two individual switches that do not have a hard wired cable, so I can use a splitter cable into one DM10 input. Can anyone point me to such a footswitch?

Actually, found the Boss footswitches. They have a dual one called the FS-6 that I wonder if it would work. Some of these switches are latched and some unlatched, not sure which the DM10 would need.

You probably already know this... you can change kits with a switch (or pad) in the DM10. But that doesn't transfer over to a VST, I'd guess (???).

Yeah I know I can change with a pad, but would rather use a footswitch to avoid an accidental change live. I did explain that I would not be technically "changing" kits in VST, I would be using the switch to change the kit's in the DM10 - to which I can assign a different midi channel to each trigger (under instrument in the DM10).
So, if I have this all figured right, if I setup one kit with all the triggers sending on midi channel 1 and have DFH Superior setup to receive only on midi channel 1 it will only trigger DFH. Then, when I switch to the next DM10 kit that is all setup for midi channel 2 it will only trigger the second VSTi that is set to only receive on channel 2. Simple enough.

I'm tapped out. This is all WAY over my head, as I don't know much about Midi or VST's (other than they can sound fantastic!)
Good topic.
