The best Fx processing app... Except for one thing... – BIAS FX - Guitar Amp & Effects Review

Bias FX, at this point, is the best FX processing app at the moment. However, there's one feature that it needs for me to give it 5 stars: the ability to turn on/off effects using specific CC messages values. For example, if I have a drive pedal (CC #25), I'd like to turn it off with values from 0 to 63, and turn it on with values from 64 to 127. (Or maybe to let us decide the on/off values). Not just using the opposite value of the current state (which is what it does on the current version). Most of the FX processors out the can do this (Axe-FX, Line 6 PODs, Eleven Rack, etc.) This has been troublesome for those like me that would like to control both presets and stompboxes from a MIDI foot controller and be able to see the correct effect state on the foot controller itself. Which is by sending both PC and CC messages when changing presets. Most MIDI foot controllers don't allow to just turn the LED of the particular effects in use in a preset without sending a corresponding CC message. And if I try sending it, then the preset turn all the effects to it's opposite value on the preset in Bias FX. There's a workaround for this, which is saving the preset in Bias FX with the FX on/off values to their opposite values, and then when I call the preset from the foot controller the effects will be on their correct states. However, this is too overwhelming since it involves extra processing to turn those effects in or off, and it's also not convenient when I'm using Bias FX without the MIDI foot controller. So until then, this app will get 4 star from me.
