Midi PC actions for MODX

WildOwl

Hi Peter - I have been adding midi commands at the top of my lyrics so that Stagetraxx loads program changes on my Yamaha MODX for each new song eg. [midi: PC107@1] This works, except each time I set the program change number (eg 107 as in above example) it loads program 108. So to get it to load program 107 on the MODX I have to give a command of [midi: PC106@1] Is this normal?

I see from your videos that you have a MODX so hopefully you'll know whats going on!

Thanks in advance - Ian

WildOwl some midi devices work with midi messages from 0-127 and others 1-128. Sounds like yours is the former.

Thank you Lishy - so if I just work around it by going one number lower will that remain consistent going forward? (ie. Don't want it randomly loading a wrong song during a gig)

Yes, it will stay consistent. Unfortunately the midi standard does not enforce all devices to start numbering with 0 or 1. So every manufacturer uses whatever they like. Having said that, once you know with which value numbering starts on a device, it will stay that way for this device.
