Is it possible to use Set List Maker with MIDI from the Ipad Mini to choose programs from the Master mode on the XS?

I have established a MIDI connection between my Ipad and the Motif and I’m able (with the option learn MIDI) to select voices or performances. What I would like is to select programs from the master mode:

For example:
Moves like jagger = master mode A3
Lady gaga medley = master mode C5

I have no idea what kind of MIDI code I have to use to get it done. I’m really a noob with MIDI. This function in combination with Set List Maker would be helpfull so I can make a setlist in the pause on my Ipad, synchronize it with my other bandmembers and select the song from my Ipad during the gig.

In some topics I read it should be possible to select programs from the Master Mode in other topics I read it’s not possible. Can you please tell me more about it and explain how to??

Master number selection and mode change are possible via MIDI. They are done with SysEx Parameter Change, Mode Change messages, as given in the XS Data List.

If the XS is already in Master mode…
To select the Master number on the first device, send:
F0 43 10 7F 03 0A 00 00 dd F7
where dd = 00~7F hex (0~127, 1~128 Master number)

If the XS is not in master mode, or you want to change modes…
To select the Mode on the first device, send:
F0 43 10 7F 03 0A 00 01 0n F7
where…
n=0 Voice mode
n=1 Performance mode
n=2 Pattern mode
n=3 Song mode
n=4 Master mode

Thanks for your reply. I don’t understand the code completely…

Can you give me an example from the code considering I’m already in master mode and I want to go to A3..?

Is it:
F0 43 10 7F 03 0A 00 03 04 F7?

I tried this code.. The whole xs crashes (nothing works any more) so I have to turn off/on… :(

Can you give me an example from the code considering I’m allready in master mode and I want to go to A3..?

Not quite. The numbering offset is indeed by 1 (one), but in the other direction.

For Master A3 (# 003):
F0 43 10 7F 03 0A 00 00 02 F7

Also, if you’re not familiar with hexadecimal, see the table on page 52 of the XS Data List.

So, for Master C5 (# 037) - look up 36 in that table:
F0 43 10 7F 03 0A 00 00 24 F7

No, that’s not it at all. Look closely at my post above.

Allright I understand… Now I just need to solve the chrashing problem…

Are you saying that the XS crashes if you use precisely the SysEx I posted?

Jep, but maybe it has something to do with the set list maker settings… Do you use this app? What are your settings?

No, I don’t use that app. I’ve previously used the SysEx I posted, and I checked it just now (using MIDI-OX), so I know it works.

Hmm ok… I get an error message: Midi buffer full…

The small SysEx messages I posted, by themselves, should not be filling the MIDI buffer.

I found the problem. Somehow I made a midi lus in the set list maker app… Everything works fine now… NICE! :D…

Thanks for your help 5pinDIN!!!

You’re welcome - I’m glad you found the problem.
