Video Not Working? Fix It Now

This is video two in a series of videos that will cover everything from basic Quad Cortex operation, to some more... esoteric uses via the Morningstar MIDI controllers. In this video we cover MIDI selection of presets and then a more advanced use case to enable "previous scene toggles". Strap in because this one gets a little byzantine but it showcases some actions, features. and techniques on the Morningstar controllers that are going to get used in future videos making it a good primer for the more "mad scientist" tricks to come. If you're looking to maximize the flexibility of your Quad Cortex via MIDI control this series will show you how. P.S. I want to apologize - this a LONG video, far longer than I want these to be. Consider the lesson learned and I will move forward with a much more scripted and polished presentation in the following videos. It's going to save both you, and me, a great deal of time :D MIDI Preset Selection Cheat Sheet: (I am waiting on verification to get the link cleared and clickable) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17_8gZ9aj06PHEHHzTV50J7RZfM1sY7F9OyYnVcjdBOc/edit?usp=sharing 0:00 - Intro 1:38 - Part 1: Changing Presets 3:55 - MIDI Preset Cheat Sheet 5:47 - Setting up Preset Changes using the cheat sheet 10:27 - Part 2: Previous Scene Toggles 10:49 - Using physical stomp emulation to switch scenes 11:42 - Using explicit scene select CC values 13:02 - Setting up previous scene toggle 13:13 - Explanation of the mechanics of previous scene toggles 16:38 - Back to setting up previous scene toggles 25:30 - The "toggle state" issue 26:33 - Fixing the "toggle state" issue 29:34 - Final configuration with scenes A-D testing 30:15 - Wrap up
