Just seen a video that claims there are 8 banks of 8 presets in midi hub , am I so thick I’ve missed that for three years?
Nope. just the 1 bank of 8. Dunno how they thought that.
Which video is it? 
Theoretically, say there’s space for more presets in memory than the number of LEDs, how would you intuitively like to switch between them?
I’m not with the hub at the moment , but I guess, a solid led represents the bank and a flashing led represents the preset , and I guess from the unit they would have to scrolled through one by one, via or program change on say channel 11 .
How about a pipe that has all the preset numbers listed, then you can map a midi event to each preset. I could see this really opening up some extremely creative pathways. I tend to make ginormous multifaceted patches. Having a whole bunch of banks of presets that can be switched to, from within a patch, to handle different functions would be out of this world.

Hey, Joey!

don’t live in the same Midihub!
If it were possible though, your idea would be exciting cos it opens up the notion of self-switching patches…

You could already switch presets using Program Change messages to make them self switching.
Btw, I’ve looked into allowing switching presets via MIDI CCs, but they’re just too noisy for this purpose, if used via a knob. The best option is to use a single Program Change event.

via loopback, I presume?
Must’nt think about that anymore, I sense a deep Markov-chain rabbit-hole opening up in front of me…
What about notes? I find myself using notes instead of CC’s to map and it
always works seamlessly. I can tell CCs could be a problem because when I try to do map with multiple to edit at the same time I start getting hiccups. In those same scenarios with notes, it flows smoothly.
Program change is seems decent enough. I guess the biggest impedance is number of them that you can switch to. In some of my patches, I use a lot of pipes simply to create “presets” which eat up the avaialable pipes. Being able to just switch through a plethora of presets can remove a lot of limitations.
Lol, My mind is exploding with the possibilities. Must… do Yoga…

“Theoretically” if something were to be implemented along these lines, my suggestion would be to keep the current selection method for the 8 presets unchanged, to prevent confusion and complication. To reach additional banks, perhaps a technique like holding the button down twice for 3 seconds would put it into bank select mode, select a bank with normal presses (however many), then hold for 3 seconds to lock in the selection, then a choice of 8 presets in that bank could be made; perhaps also either a timeout to revert to the original “bank” or some other button technique to back out, if necessary.
While we’re at preset management: what about a long press (6s) to save current settings in the currently selected patch? 
This would help a lot with jamming on my controller and recalling settings where I left the previous session…
