Re: Send bank select + program change with note on

That's right. I want to be able to select the voice to use before playing the note -- and this is done sending the bank select + program change messages before the note on. (Some users might just want to send the program change, so the bank select could probably be optional too.) I think the current...

Re: Send bank select + program change with note on

Thanks for the reply; that sounds like it might work. I think it would be good for this case to be a hard coded option for note on/off messages, since it’s a pretty common thing to want to do. Also that would mean it is not using up multiple transformers. Another approach — which the MAUDIO Oxygen c...

Send bank select + program change with note on

I’ve been experimenting a bit with the MIDI Expression IO and also a MIDI controller, both controlling a master keyboard. Would it be feasible to add the option to send Bank Select and Program Change messages along with a Note On/Off? This would allow you to specify not just what note to play, but w...

Re: MIDI Expression iO not working with 3 pedal unit

Ah, I see. My use case is using the pedals for sound effects, where the length of the note either doesn’t matter (the shortest possible note is long enough) or doesn’t make any difference.

Re: MIDI Expression iO not working with 3 pedal unit

That’s great; thanks for the prompt reply. Here’s a feature request: it would be nice if I could play two different notes with one pedal. Maybe in a similar way to “dual CC” mode, but a “dual note mode” where a short press generates one note and a long press generates the other one. I can see hihat ...

Re: MIDI Expression iO not working with 3 pedal unit

Changing to "expression pedal" didn't fix this in itself. After factory resetting the unit (twice) it did start working with the pedals as expression pedals. They support half damping and do output continuous values from 0-127 so I guess they can be treated as expression pedals. But switch...

Re: MIDI Expression iO not working with 3 pedal unit

The Mac version of MIDI expression says "current firmware 2.8.8.0 latest firmware 2.8.8.0"

The iOS version says "current firmware 2.8.8.0 latest firmware 2.8.7.5 .... the firmware for this device higher than the installed firmware"

MIDI Expression iO not working with 3 pedal unit

I'm trying to get a MIDI expression iO (older model with 3 inputs) working with this: https://www.roland.com/au/products/rpu-3/ It's 3 pedals in one unit, with 3 separate plugs. But it's not working -- either the macOS or the iOS app: - it only recognises 2 of the 3 pedals - sometimes the second ped...

Re: Stuck note with two pedals.

Great. Thanks for all your help getting this working. The other limitation that I can see (correct me if I'm wrong about this) is the limited number of transformers. If I want to assign a similar function to all three pedals - each selecting and playing a different sound - as far as I understand the...

Re: Stuck note with two pedals.

Excellent -- that's working now; thanks! In conjunction with configuring the keyboard, I can basically do what I want now, which is to use the pedals to play sounds. However, I can't see how I can configure a pedal to select a sound and play it since this requires 4 messages, and as far as I can see...
