NS3 OS 1.40 MIDI Program Change to H9

Postby friendben » 24 May 2018, 21:16

Hello. I have a problem when sending program changes from the Stage 3 (OS 1.40) to an Eventide H9. It changes the global settings for the H9, and I haven't a clue why. The global settings are "EXP Controls Volume In" and "EXP Controls Volume Out". (I never tried making program changes from the keyboard before OS 1.40.) Could the Stage 3 be sending more than program changes that the H9 might interpret as Exclusive?

It depends on what you've set it up to. It can transmit not only program changes, but also volume and a user-specified control (this is in the extern menu).

If the problem happens later on, it can also be because it is set up to send MIDI when you e.g. enable a section or change its levels.

I do use the external out, but those are on different midi channels. And it is on the program change when it happens. That’s a good thought, though. I will try disabling external and see what happens. Thanks!

Try to connect a computer to the USB output, which should mimic the MIDI out also. You can then use a computer to inspect the MIDI messages being sent; that is often the faster way of figuring out what goes on :-)

That's good to hear. I had the Stage 2 and sold it to get the 3. Up until OS 1.40 I was using an old Roland RC-3 and had no problem. I liked the two button program change, so I rewired my MIDI system to put the Stage first.

Did you try it with an Ioad? This is what I use currently with Bandhelper/setlist maker...Or what about doing it from another keyboard? So, you will see whi is the culprit....
