Here’s a technique that I’ve found while trying to find the best way to economize a patch. It requires a physical loopback. It allows you to use 1 control to switch banks. When you switch the value on control 1, controls 2-4 will control a set of parameters but when the control 1 value changes, controls 2-4 will control different sets of mapped parameters. You can have as many banks as you want(can) and as many controls in a bank as you like. I like to convert to notes on 15-16 because it multiplies the messages you have available.
It consist of using CC#1 mapped to 2 transform pipes. The first transform pipe sets what knob you want to use for individual parameters in a bank and acts a filter. The second will transform into x output that you map to a desired pipeline.
{Transform pipe #1
-Mode = Replace
-What/into = Control Change.
-Set CC number to = Argument 1
-Set Value to = Value
-Argument 1 is mapped to CC#1 (main port)
-Work with Channel = 1 (or the channel you’ll be using mainly)
-Set Channel to = 15 (for loopbacks)
-Inside range
-Work with CC# Low/High = CC#2
- Inside range}
{Transform pipe #2
-Mode = Replace
-What/into = Control Change- Note on Note off (can use CC’s)
-Set Note/CC number to = Argument 1
-Set Value to = Value
-Argument 1 is mapped to CC#1 (main port)
-Work with Channel = 15 (loopback)
-Set Channel to = 15 (loopback)
-Keep Channel= Check mark
-Inside range
-Work with CC# number Low/High = mapped to CC#1
-Inside range}
(I prefer to use notes, so after transform pipe 2 I use a transpose pipe to adjust the note output to exactly what I want it to be. This way requires 2 transforms-transpose-output . If using CCs you could probably keep all the pipes in the same row. I surmise that being a bit messy trying to keep track of what CC#S shouldn’t pass, theoretically it should work fine on 1 row though. Another reason I like notes is because it offers less opportunity for conflict.)
After you set up your banks ( probably better to do so right after you set your 2 transforms), map that output to whatever parameter you like on the loopback port.
When you are on CC# 1 value 1 you should only be able to adjust parameters that value 1
