Need help for Midi commands

Frank-Ol

Hi. I am new to Stage Traxx. Fore more than 10 years I organise my (band) chord sheets and beatbuddy with forescore, now I want to add stage traxx for solo performances. I have problems to understand the workflow of midi commands in stage traxx. The only thing I want to do is opening "songs", which are stored on my beatbuddy (by bluetooth midi). The beatbuddy stores songs in folders (Beatbuddy "song" = combination of mdi drum patterns). You can select a BeatBuddy folder and song with the MIDI Bank Select (combination of CC:0 [MSB] and CC:32 [LSB] and Program Change (PC) messages. In forescore I have to make and send a PC midi command like 1 0 8 11 (midi channel 1, 9th folder, 12th song in this folder). How do I have to to this in stage traxx? Greetings from germany.

If MSB is zero you just need to write this for the example you posted: [midi: PC11.8@1]

So it is song number dot folder at midi channel.

Thank you for your fast answer. I watched your midi video again, and now I understand.
just 2 more questions:

If I use PDFs for chordsheets, do I have to write the midi commands in an empty lyrics page?
Is it possible to start a drum app (I have different lumbeat apps) and send midi clock? I tested funk drummer, and in the midi section the app shows stage traxx to get midi commands and midi clock. How do I send midi commands to the app?

peter

Yes, just add the midi commands into lyrics.
Stage Traxx sends all commands to all midi ports it recognized. You could disable certain midi ports though in settings.

Just following on from that, can I also set midi channels in settings, or do I do that in ST3 with a MIDI string?

and the string itself , does it always need that gap after the [midi: ?

peter

No, you can not set midi channels in settings. It is all controlled by the midi strings.

And yes, you need the gap after midi:
