ST3 and Roland spd sx

Jay

Is the a way to have ST3 change kits on my SPD SX when I select a song.

Lishy

Jay yeah you can do it via midi.

Thank you for responding. Forgive my ignorance, I have no midi experience. It looks like I have to type a command in lyrics.
If I wanted a song to change the sod six to kit #90, what command would I type?
Thank you

Lishy

Jay ok so first you would need to set the midi channel in settings on the spd sx, but it looks like it’s set to channel 10 by default (but please check your midi settings on spd sx first). At the beginning of the song you would enter [midi: PC90@10]
PC stands for programme change and the number after the @ is your midi channel number.
For a Bluetooth midi device I would recommend the CME widi master.

I do this for my Drummers SPD-SX PRO (essentially more Drum Kits than SPD-SX)
The SPD need multiple commands sent to it - a Bank Select MSB and LSB (CC0+CC32) and a Program Change (PC)
Here's an example from my default lyric sheet. My drummer has set Kit number 200 as his 'default' kit for most songs and his SPD is listening on MIDI Ch 10.

; MIDI automation for Roland SPD-SX PRO
; Set to default Kit (Kit 200)
[midi@00:00.100: CC0.0@10,CC32.1@10,PC71@10]

here's another example where I change it to Kit 188:
[midi@00:00.100: CC0.0@10,CC32.1@10,PC59@10]

This is the key part of the SPD manual:

I have the following in a spreadsheet so I don't forget:

CC0=1,CC32=0 Kits 001-128
CC0=0,CC32=1 Kits 129-200

For Kit 001-128 - PC is Kit number minus 1
For Kit 129-200 - PC is Kit number minus 129

And then I have a table like this so I don't have to go calculating stuff:
