How to send midi to enable module (that has been disabled by external midi)
I have the following problem. There are 5 effects, like delays, in a rack. With a midi footcontroller I disable and enable them (midi binding with midi learn). Works wel. However, there are multiple times that I want to reset all 5 effects to 'disable'. How can I do this by sending some midi (to something in drambo) from the footcontroller?
I tried to setup some buttons that send midi through cc generator and midi out (midi feedback) and also tried with a 'midi route' module. But when an object is bound to the external controller cc and channel it seems impossible to send this same midi message internally: it simply doesn't react.

Yes, you have to decide whether to receive the controller data as MIDI control or in your rack. Once mapped, the respective MIDI message is excluded from the MIDI stream going to the rack(s).
An easy way to solve your request would be to use a generic effects bypass switch mapped to your controller, so when you enable them again, the last effects state will be preserved.
You can put N to 1 module at the end of the rack, run input from the top of the rack to one input and effected out into the other. Then midi learn a buttons module to switch between two states via N to 1 index input.
Hi, thanks for your quick respons. I tried it, it works when pressing the buttons manually, but it does not work not anymore when the midi is bound to the foot controller (everything set to momentary). The difference is that I have 5 effects in the rack (delay, wah, chorus, tremelo and phaser) and so 6 switches and 6 buttons (including the first one connected to the rack). Because I have more than 1 button, I added an Adder Module and connected this to the index.
What happens is the following (directly after connecting the foot controller):
The buttons behave like multiple select buttons: when I select for instance the Delay footswitch, it highlights (blue) the button and it selects the right switch in the switch N-1 module. Everything ok, but..
When I subsequently select the Wah effect with the foot controller. It highlights the Button connected to the wah switch. Also correct, BUT: the previous button of the Delay effect is still highlighted (is this a bug? looks like multiple select buttons now, although they are in momentary mode).
i SOLVED it however by using the Slider Module. Binding a single midi CC to this slider and send devided fractions between 0 and 127 (in this case 127/5=25.4) to the slider like this:
