MIDI CONTROLLERS

[GuyM]

Hi Arlo
Thought I had this sorted but came back to the controller pedal after a few weeks and it is not working now...See previous topic "Using an FCB1010 MIDI Foot Controller" 

I have 4 pedals on my FCB1010 pedal board set to send out MIDI CC 80-83 on Channel 5 (and I can monitor that happening using MIDI monitor app). This worked some weeks back

In SLM I have set the MIDI General Purpose Buttons 1-4 thus under Remote Control :-

MGPB1 = Next MIDI Preset
MGPB2 = Previous MIDI Preset
MGPB3 = Next Song
MGPB4 = Previous Song

The MIDI ICON Flashes with each press, but the MIDI message is not doing the function
has something changed as it does not recognise the CCs I already had working!...how can I tell what is happening in SLM?

Do you have the input port and channel in Settings > Remote Control set correctly, or left empty so the app listens on all ports and channels?

[GuyM]

Yes...tried
1. leaving MIDI INPUT CHANNEL and PORT blank
2. Setting MIDI INPUT to CHANNEL 5
3. Setting PORT to Behringer iStudio
The MIDI in coming in (as the ICON flashes) but the SLM app does not react to it as it did previously (See mail topic)

Can you test what CC the MIDI General Purpose Buttons 1 -4 are now looking for?

Now approaching tour time and need this to work asap please Arlo!

In the app. If you are still using version 3, it's at Settings > General Settings > Troubleshooting > Request Tech Support.

Just a wild guess: What controller VALUEs are you sending from the FCB? Depending on the "Button Style" SLM setting in "Remote Control", the app responds to values 64-127 when the "Momentary" option is selected. So if you send values < 64, set the SLM setting to "Latch" or change your FCB programming to values >= 64.

Hi Christoph
As it says in my mails above

I was happilly sending Value 1 on CC 80-83 from the FCB and it all worked fine in SLM V3 when assigned to the MIDI General Purpose Buttons 1-4 (Remote Control)

So, I had better check the MOMENTARY vs LATCH settings ?? and make sure it is 'Momentary'

Thanks for the hint!!

Hi folks
Yep Christoph was correct, in fact I had to set it to LATCH to get it to work...but what the heck...the FCB and SLM work together again...excellent
