Hi guys
Sorry, header should have said CQ18T
Currently gigging with Ipad Air running ST3 and connecting via interface to provide USB connection to both Behringer Flow 8 digital mixer and PodGo guitar pedal. The music tracks play out of the headphone socket to two channels on the flow 8 (sounds better). Everything is fully automated in the lyrics with midi commands to select patch and snapshots on the PodGo and to switch on and off the reverb on the Flow 8 at the start and end of every song. Works flawlessly. I've got certain tracks programmed to adjust the volume of lead vocal track on the mixer when the singer is blowing his mouth organ and return to normal level, all done with midi messages in the lyrics of ST3. We both love to roam the room while playing and running back to the stage to press a button or footswitch is not an option any more.
However, I've bought and Allen and Heath CQ18T digital desk with a view to replace the flow 8 but I cannot for the life of me work out the format and CC commands that are required to switch on and off the reverb on the CQ18T and replicate what I can do with the flow 8. Using midi learn does return a very long string of CC messages that do actually work, well sort of but not at all reliably (same string of midi code for on and off?)and nothing that works at all in the actions settings in SYSTEM of ST3. The midi implementation chart for the CQ is completely mind blowing and nothing like as easy as any other gear I've ever used in 30 odd years. Has anyone here had any experience of this or able to help please? The answer, theoretically should be very simple CC message for FX, DCA, Mute group on and off.
