Live gig setup - saving your set up

hello all,

i would really appreciate some help. I have 2 workstations as a rack, one on top of the other. And when i play live, i would like to save settings as a whole workstation, both keyboards rather than seperately. And have to change it manually live. I have seen people use almost like a footpedal switch to change the settings, is there a way i can achieve this? So when i play one song, and finish, i can just press a switch and both keyboards change settings to play the next song?

Shite way of putting it across, but desperate for some help.

Thank you,

Quentin :)

once you have everything saved up at home you should be able to assign the same MIDIpatch change command to change both simualtaneously... you will of course then need a controller to send those commands over to both keybaords. if you want to use your feet a behringer should do the job. its a bit of bear to program, but you're only changing 2 devices and you're doing it simultaneously, no continuous controller changes I assume? although the behringer fcb has a tredle and momentary switch that can eb sued tot ap tempo, but I diguress.... I'm sure there are also simpler devices, maybe tabletop ones, out there with buttons to change patches, just doa google search... anything that cna send a patch change will work fine. You can make life easy and assign both keybaords to MIDI channel 1 and then just send 1 command on 1 channel to change them simulataneously

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

Perfect thank you that's great. Thanks for your help!
