Hey guys, I´m trying to set up a configuration on my MOX6 which I thought would be quite straight forward, but apparently is not (for me). Let´s assume I have stored 5 Performances at the numbers 001, 002,..., 005. While playing, I want to switch between all of them several times. In order to realize this, I want to use Footcontroller1 to increment the current Performance´s number, and Foorcontroller2 to decrement it. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to set this up. I managed to use one footcontroller plugged to the FOOT-SWITCH [ASSIGNABLE] and assign it the functionality to either increment or decrement the PC number. But how can I use a second footcontroller to do the contrary, and use both in one setup? I really appriciate your input, as this is driving me nuts ;) Cheers Dr. Beat |

Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, there’s only one ASSIGNABLE FOOT SWITCH jack, so your choice is limited to either incrementing or decrementing the Program number via the FS setting. Foot Controllers FC1 and FC2 are limited to settings of “off” or CC#1-95. |

Hi 5pinDIN, thanks for the welcome! I got your point, thanks.
Do you see any other possibility for switching between different Voices (or even between different Performances like I mentioned above) by using Footcontrollers/-switches?
Curious to read what you think about it. Cheers. |

There may be a few possibilities, involving external gear.
First, we need to clarify a couple of things…
2) What computer platform are you using - PC/Mac, OS? Please update your member profile to reflect that information. |

All right,
I just read the document you linked. That´s quite a good explanation which revealed a new understanding of the mixing panel to me (should read more of that stuff).

Next step… In http://www.motifator.com/index.php/forum/viewthread/478902/ we’ve been working on this issue.
Since I haven’t had a reply to my last suggestion in that thread, I’ll repeat it here:
For example…
You can use MIDI-OX (http://www.midiox.com/) to send messages (or another MIDI utility, if you prefer), as a test. More to follow if you get that working. Â :-) |

Cool, got that working :)
I used Cubase AI5 for setting up the SysEx message and for transmission.
What I don´t understand is some of the content of the SysEx message
Did I say thanks yet? Thanks! |

Thanks for verifying that. With appropriate model ID bytes, I knew it worked with my XS and XF in both Song and Pattern modes.

There are several undocumented SysEx messages, and that’s one of them. Some have been discovered by using MIDI-OX, looking at USB MIDI Port 4 (which is normally for communication with the Yamaha Editor) while operating panel buttons. The model ID for the Editor is different than that for the synth, but changing it to the one for the synth sometimes reveals a message that works. In this case, looking at Port 4 while selecting Parts in the Mix was how this SysEx was discovered.

You’re welcome!
The next challenge is having pedals use that SysEx…
However, there may be another approach to your original request…
The disadvantage to incrementing or decrementing Programs in Voice or Performance mode is that the sound will cut off for an instant during the transition. Note that in Song mode, Program Change can select one of the 16 Voices and place it in the Part that corresponds to the MIDI channel of the message. All of the other Parameters of the Part will remain unchanged. (At least on my XF - not verified on a MOX.) That may not be desirable. In a Mixing the sound will continue until the next Part is selected and played, and that’s true whether a button is pressed or the F0 43 10 7F 14 64 03 00 pp F7 message is sent. I’d suggest contacting MIDI Solutions, explain what your needs are, and see what they come up with. |
