No, that’s very long 
It’s like waiting for a new pope…
Long = Main circuit breaker off?
No, that’s very long
… but can be shortened tremendously with additional device, orderable from Alibaba.
Doesn’t expect releasing encoder switch too, works momentarily when used.
Maybe next official road warrior kit includes one or even two…
I have feel that one plug can be used only once…

The next logical step should be to include a couple of big blasting caps inside the Zynthian case and detonate the synth with the tipical “Mission: Impossible” countdown 
(or the Spaceball one… :D)

Ok guys.
And what do you think of my idea? It is completely out?
1st click midi command with 0 and 2nd command with value 127 (for example) sendig to MOD-UI.
Using to switching ANY software pedals via midi-learning without “special midi pedal”.
Or do I think wrong?
Jofemodo: if you can send Sound OFF, you can send anything.
Your’e right, this PanicPlug ™ concept is fun, but in reality you can’t get FCC and CE approval for this kind of musical instrument…
Will this be something like my suggestion for “user assignable” zynswitches via midirouter part of zyncoder library?
Yes, something like that. But with the foot switch. Performed in the same way as in this thread.
if its implemented the way Werewolf proposed (IIUC) then you could just connect your footswitch to one of the other inputs and then you can configure it to your heart’s content. I think thats the best solution.
Very Much so…
Now does it have single pole or C/O switches . . . .??
Or do you do the volume level from a pedal on AtoD?
This needs a new brain…

I don´t know. It´s a prototype. I’ll see what I need 
Pedal switches are on the road from Ali.
My idea is to add foot-volume analog JACK input for using ANY foot volume controll.
Just analog in -> midi out. Plus cca 4 buttons in 3 banks (or with different type of send commands)
Which Pedal switches? I’d go for Black & White … I’ve got the Amazon default in six colour in two sizes… I will see how durable they are .
How would you set the MIDI channel? The unholy pursuit of MIDI channel (0/1) is unseemly and in the zynthian world doesn’t allow us to differentiate by layer.
To avoid irritating start up dances it would need to be non-volatile.
I still think a modification of the All-in-one encoder board and ‘just a bit of coding’ ™ could render up a very serviceable extension for the zynthian board family. All it would need is to be allocated a new encoder board ID.
I’m on the beginning of the journey. I can send anything i will need 
Well it is the time when design uses up nothing but neurons.
A Zynth and a pedal board is a great combination, for bass pedals.
Actually daft question of the session. How would TWO All-in-one encoder boards play on the bus?
Would you have two sets of encoders ( one at body height and one set on the pedal board and would they both function ( Don’t even ask about MIDI…?)
All it would need is to be allocated a new encoder board ID.
Next AllInOne board in size of HAT which can be stacked? With settable MCP23017 addresses. Each HAT gives 16 inputs/outputs. I know that adding encoder connectors, DIP MCP23017 and MIDI electronics are hard to squeeze to this little PCB, but still. Which makes things more complicated, that AllInOne board must have traces for two 40 pin connector, with same spacing as HiFiberry boards. This adds possibility stack HAT-s.
The encoder board can be passed as 8 or so pins that could be implemented on the encoder boards and then you wouldn’t need the 40 pin connector if you didn’t want to use 40 pin ribbons.
If truth if you were doing 'lot’s of switches ( Kaos…) then you would be probably doing it in arduino like thing probably. What I’m playing around with on this thread is the idea of localised extension of the zynthian bus using 12c. It’s kicked off a pedal board debate and as this an opens source project it pays to define some kind of structure if you possibly can.
Ultimately the zynth has kept careful control of it’s interface and we as a community want to preserve that ethos as much as we can, but develop useful musical concepts that we can entrench.
And it gives the individuals writing the code ideas as well and ultimately they really decide what goes into the base repos
Wyleu preach mode off…
For stacking boards still all 40 pins must be routed. If one wants basic Zynthian, gets one board as kit, who wants more knobs, buttons, pedals etc can order additional kit, leave MIDI part of PCB unpopulated and stack encoder boards as much as required On top one can add DAC board too.
Ok I’ll give you stacked
You will also have noticed I nicked your ™
OK! This is implemented now.
I’m still thinking about the best way of configuring the other “extra” switches.
Thanks for your ideas, guys!! 
Regards,
At last White smoke!!
