The tuning change shows there is a least something leaving the E1 and reaching the MS70. But check if other messages at least also leave the MS70 (use MIDI-OX or similar)
a program change ? (that’s straighforward simple MIDI)
a parameter change
Can you try to grab the screenshots (are better the real traffic in csv or txt) on what the E1 sends out to the MS70 ?
Can you try to find proof the MS70 does send at least something back to the E1?
I know about the hack, but I’m in no need to add additional effects to the MS70. Yet, my preset can cope what it. But did you find proof there is an additonal name per effect in a program in that zdl format?
I thought it was strange that program change controls weren’t impacting the state of the pedal but I’ll check it out with midiox and see if my e1 is outputting the expected midi and if the cdr70 is responding. Here is some neat info on the zdl and modding it. you can even modify the graphics on the pedal. https://github.com/shooking/ZoomPedalFun/issues/18
The ZDL files serves a different purpose though and has nothing to do with MIDI.
The hack to add new effects into the MS70 firmware does not use MIDI.
So yes, ZDL can be used to upload graphics of new effects into the pedal, but no, it won’t help you with the known sysex to extract that info back from the pedal into a device like E1
I figured out the issue I was having with the preset was memory related so it looks like the preset only works with electra one v2. At somepoint I will upgrade my device and I’ll give it another try. thanks

@davehouse Try this preset I made that works well with electra one MK1. It doesn’t allow you to interact with every parameter but focuses on the first 9 potentiometers on the pedal as well as changing patches and setting tempo. Play around with it and let me know if you have any questions. zoom cdr for E1 mk1
Cool I’m glad it’s working. The patch name should update after the patch request and it is just a label. Fx count tells you how many fx slots are used for the active preset and it too is just a label. You can then set which is active and send a new patch request to update the active slot. For the first 3 slots you have access to the pedals page 1 potentiometers and the graphics on the pedal actually update when you adjust the E1 pots which is pretty neat. There might be a way to get the parameter names but it will require a multidimensional array to be written up and a search to pull in that info. That’s a great idea but it would take some time to implement. In the latest version I saved you should now get an indication of what type of fx is in each slot and if it is unused it will be invisible. Those are all just labels. Yes that pot control section is just a dynamic potentiometer and it also can toggle a switched value on and off. What I found to be pretty fun is using the program change buttons and playing the different fx like a keyed instrument. Your questions are helpful because it makes me realize I should use color to help distinguish between labels and controls.
