SETTING UP A TEMPLATE FOR THE RJM MASTERMIND GT MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER

[jbg31792]

I've ordered the Mastermind GT Midi Foot Controller which has 24 switches. Ron Minelli, inventor of the Mastermind GT, is kind enough to make me a template just for the vARRANGER2. He's also making me templates for the FISHMAN TRIPLE PLAY,

What recommendations could you recommend for setting up these 24 switches to control the functions of the vARRANGER2 for playing the STYLES, and going to the next STYLE in a playlist.

(TOP ROW 1)          1, 2, (DISPLAY) 3, 4
(ROW 2)                 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
(ROW 3)                11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
(BOTTOM ROW 4)   17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22

Thank you for any suggestions you could offer,

John

This is a screen shot of the Mastermind GT Midi Foot Pedal showing vARRANGER 2 set up that Ron has done using the Mastermind GT Editor software. Can anyone suggest some additional vARRANGER functions that could be assigned to the Mastermind GT in addition to what I've already laid out?

The third row of 6 presets can be used for the Fishman Triple Play Midi guitar presets, pads distortion and acoustic.

And the top 4th row of presets could control the Triple Play LOOPING.

Ron said that this configuration assumes that the vARRANGER2 will be configured on midi channel 1, and the Triple Play will be on midi channel 2.

I've envisioned this to be a type working screen when controlling the varranger2 with the Triple Play and my guitar.

I could page up or down to another template of 24 presets of just vARRANGER2 functions, or page up to another dedicated
template of 24 functions of the Triple Play guitar presets and sounds, or a dedicated template of just LOOPING functions.

I would appreciate any help from someone who has more experience than I do with the vARRANGER2, which is practically none, as I've never used it on a job before. I've always used the Midi bass pedals and the Ketron equipment. But now that Fishman has come out with the wireless midi guitar controller, I hope to be using the vARRANGER2, SD2 OR SD 1000, once the verdicts in if it's worth that much more money than the SD 2.

Thanks,

John
