Voicelive Touch 2 and midi automation

LeesKeys

I would greatly appreciate some help writing midi commands in Stagetraxx to change Voicelive presets, and to turn on/off the Hit button.

Here's what I have so far. VLT2 has a total of 300 preset slots.
-My VLT2 is in the system and is on Midi channel 3. I know it's communicating with VLT2 because if I'm in the lyrics editor and press midi learn, then stop, I get a very long string of midi

-It's my understanding from reading this thread that my MSB will be zero. The first 128 presets will have an LSB =0. Presets 129-256 will have an LSB=1, etc. The reference thread is specific to VoiceLive 3 but I'm assuming it will apply to the Touch2 as well.

The Hit function is cc=87.

Could someone show me:

the proper syntax for midi commands for loading let's say VLT2 preset 100, and preset 200? I'm assuming this could be written at the beginning of the lyrics, no time stamp needed. And
proper syntax for turning on Hit at for example 01:25.00, and off at 01:35.00?

I feel like I have the pieces I need but don't know how to put them together.

Thanks!

Went back and watched Peter's video on midi again. I also rewatched the MusicTribe thread. Since presets in Voicelive correspond with program change numbers, I tried this midi script in the lyrics: [Midi: pc25@3], by which I wanted to call preset 24 on midi channel 3, where VoiceLive is assigned. Nothing happened.

The MusicTribe thread notes that I have to first specify the correct lsb bank ("To specify the desired bank, issue an LSB Bank select message (CC#32) with the correct value..", "After specifying the Bank, issue a PC Preset select message with a value of 0-127". So how do I write the LSB into my midi script?

Still at a stand still. Any help would be appreciated.

LeesKeys your syntax looks correct

[midi: PC25.0.3]

Make sure on your settings and midi you have set channel 3 to receive (RX)

Make sure no filters are the midi settings such as (PC) as this would not allow the unit to receive

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that device. I can help you with the midi syntax though and your midi command looks fine.

Does the ".0" refer to the LSB bank?
So ".3" and "@3" can be used interchangeably to refer to the midi channel?

I was using VLT2 with ST3 and when I press Midi Learn button in lyrics editor VLT2 sends a lot of midi messages. Just clean it manually. If you want a program change - delete everything, except PC. Better to timestamp everything, even if it from the start of the song. Voice Live Touch 2 rather slow in receiving midi and changing presets, so triple check after Midi Learn procedure and adjust timing manually.

Reverb preset in the beginning of a song (don't remember the preset number).
As for the Hit button - try CC87.64 to turn Off, CC87.65 to turn ON (check midi implementation chart). Be careful, because Hit button is not preset dependent. So if you turn it off - it will stay like that.

The saddest thing - in my band we were using Voice Live Touch 2 for a couple months with full midi automation (which is super cool), but one day TC Helicon stopped accepting midi (both USB and MIDI cables). Other devices still working fine, so it is not ST3 or iPad or audio interface.

just back at this post after much groping around. I got I was able to get it figured out with help from a member of the VoiceLive 3 facebook group! He also referenced a page which generates the correct midi script for various commands (hit on/off, different vocal effects).

LeesKeys apologies my text auto corrected
It’s @3

So [midi: 25.0@3]

when i try to correct a typo in my previous post, I get a message "you do not have permission to do that". What's that about.
