TimeFactor and Ground Control Pro

[steve.mastr]

Hello,

I am trying to control my Eventide
TimeFactor with an expression pedal (EB JR.) that's plugged into my
Ground Control Pro. I am noticing a delay when trying to control the
Expression Pedal features via CC controllers (I go to the heel position
and the TimeFactor takes about 2-3 seconds to go from 100 to 0, I go
back to the toe position and it takes another 2-3 seconds to go back up
to 100). This isn't that big of a deal since I'm mostly using the pedal
to increase feedback and wet/dry signal, but I would like to know if
MIDI can make it react the same way it would if I'm plugged right into
the 1/4" Expression Pedal input.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Steve

Obviously, this shouldn't happen. It may be that for unknown reasons the GC is deluging the TF with MIDI messages and is clogging its pipes. Or maybe there is something (again unknown) wrong with the TF.

It might be helpful to know EXACTLY what the TF display is showing during the 2-3 seconds. Also, if possible, beg borrow or steal a different controller and see if you get the same result.

It shows 100 counting down to 0 VERY gradually…..and vice versa

Very mysterious. Presumably it is either the GC or the TF, so the best thing to do is to try to replace one or the other and see if it makes a difference. This is not a problem we know.
