Alternative taxonomy of effect categories (B6)
Just stumbled upon an unexpected finding -- it appears that the ZD2 for B6 model (*88.ZD2
) have a category taxonomy that differs from the usual one, as applicable to most other G Series models.
B6-xcatid | B6-catid | B6-catname | B6-cattag | G-catid | G-catname | G-cattag |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0x01 |
1 | DYNAMICS | DYN | 1 | DYNAMICS | DYN |
0x02 |
2 | FILTER | FLT | 2 | FILTER | FLT |
0x03 |
3 | DRIVE | DRV | 3 | DRIVE | DRV |
0x04 |
4 | PREAMP | PRE | 4 | AMP | AMP |
0x05 |
5 | BASS AMP | AMP | 5 | CABINET | CAB |
0x06 |
6 | CABINET | CAB | 6 | MODULATION | MOD |
0x07 |
7 | MODULATION | MOD | 7 | SFX | SFX |
0x08 |
8 | SFX | SFX | 8 | DELAY | DLY |
0x09 |
9 | DELAY | DLY | 9 | REVERB | REV |
0x0A |
10 | REVERB | REV | - | - | - |
As could be seen, the 4:AMP
category is split into 4:PREAMP
and 5:BASS AMP
, shifting the following categories down in the sequence.
This somewhat breaks the established fxmodid
-to-category mapping, at least makes this conditional on the device model. Alternatively, this mapping could be conditional on the fxmodid
subtype, as the B6-specific ZD2 modules (*88.ZD2
) all have 0x90000
in their fxmodid
. That is:
is_B6 = ((fxmodid & 0x000F0000) == 0x00090000)
This would eval True for all B6-specific fxmodid
s similar to these:
0x04890011, "Bass DRV"
0x070900e1, "Kick FLNG"
I thought this would also be applicable to G6 model, however it appears that the *88.ZD2
modules are referenced only for B6 model.
