Anyone else notice this? I’ve used two different usb Midi interfaces now and ive had this problem with both. If I have the midi cable plugged into the midi in jack on my motu midi interface, I can no longer use the footswtich. On some patches the aux button works but on others it doesnt at all. What could this issue be? ---

that is weird. Sometimes i think that older patches or the older menus had FS/AUX as a way to advance through pages not sue if that is the issue though ---

Hi @omoayedi19 - what brand of USB-MIDI cable are you using?
