Hi
I’ve got a MoXF6 that I’ve had for a few weeks.  It replaced a JV2080 and SonicCell (not that it’s particularly relevant). I’m using the brilliant iPad app Set List Maker to successfully perform patch changes on a MiniNova, Boss GT8, Roland GR-55 including tempo changes.  I’ve worked out how to select the master items on the MoXF6 by using hex strings to change mode and then select the item.  For some reason though when I try the same process to select a song the mode changes to Song Mode but it totally fails to select a song instead staying on whichever song was the last one used.

The hex strings used for the MASTER changes are:

F0 43 10 7F 1C 00 0A 00 01 04 F7
F0 43 10 7F 1C 00 0A 00 00 nn F7 (where nn is the actual master number-1). 
This works

To change the SONG I’m trying

F0 43 10 7F 1C 00 0A 00 01 03 F7 (this does change to song mode)
F0 43 10 7F 1C 00 0A 00 00 nn F7 (where nn is the actual song I want)

I appreciate that I don’t have to issue the mode change every time but it doesn’t do any harm does it?
Anyways, can anyone tell me what I’m missing?
I know I could correlate a master with each song but I’d rather not go to the effort.
Longer term I’ll probably dynamically select custom voices with a preset in the iPad app for each one but that’s in the future.

Cheers
James

The SysEx message you’re trying to use to change the Song number isn’t valid. Once the MOXF is in Song mode, you just have to send a Song Select message. Song Select consists of a Status byte, F3, and a Data byte that immediately follows it.

F3 nn   where nn = 00~3F (Song # 1 through 64)

To select Song number 4, for example, send F3 03 . This also works in Pattern mode.

Thanks for the reply.

Now you’ve pointed that out the documentation actually makes sense.  I did try reading the manual, honest.

I’ll give it a go when my ipad recharges.

Thanks again.

What a great place this is.

James
