I sent this as a feature request, but maybe somone already knows a work-around.

I want to use two iRig BlueBoards at the same time to give me more foot control options.  When set on the "B" mode, I get midi notes and can trigger remote control events with those just fine.

To use a second BlueBoard i would need to set it to "C" mode which send command change messages 20-23.  However, for some reason BandHelper only lists 64-69 and 80-83 as options in the drop down.  Not sure why the list is so limited or how we could just get 20-23 added as well.

Cheers!

Controller numbers 20-23 are undefined in the MIDI spec, and as a general rule I don't support MIDI messages that aren't in the spec.

You could use one Blueboard in the original "Blueboard mode," which sends MIDI CC numbers 80-83. However, you would need to run the Blueboard app to use this proprietary mode.

Alternatively, you could use the MidiFire app to translate the nonstandard 20-23 messages to standard 80-83 messages.
