H&K GrandMeister Tone Control Preset for Pacer

Pacer Optional Presets

This Preset makes use of H&K GrandMeister’s ability to be completely MIDI-controlled, with a focus on Tone Controls.

The Factory Preset D1 for the GrandMeister gives you access to channel and FX-switching, with this optional preset you will be able to set all tone controls by foot. So you might want to use both in conjunction. Setup with the GrandMeister is easy: plug a MIDI cable in and you are good to go. You will need 2 expression pedals and 2 optional foot switches to make full use of this preset.

The Preset will give you access to GrandMeister channel switching as well as the gain, tone, presence and reverb on/off controls. With the stomps [1]-[5] you map the respective front panel knob to [Exp Pedal 2] for control. [Exp Pedal 1] is set up to control volume, and with [FS1] and [FS2] you can switch GrandMeister presets (limited to 0-9, but of course you can extend the range if you require more).

(In order to load the Preset into Pacer, you need to use a Sysex program such as Sysex Librarian from Snoize for Mac OS X or Bome’s SendSX for Windows.)
