Xt Live to change presets on M5?

Hi!

(first time poster, long time lurker)

I've just picked up the M5 to go along with my Variax and xt live. What I'd like to know is if the xt live can change presets on the M5 on a per xt live patch basis with midi. IF it can do that, how do I get it happen?

I'm a complete newb when it comes to midi. I've already connected them up with a midi cable and have the m5 listening to the xt live.

Thanks!

Steve.

Re: Xt Live to change presets on M5?

the m5 chaged just fine when i used it in the loop of the hd500
get a couple of midi cables and check it out.... was super easy... just resaved the patch after i chose the preset on the m5.
the hd500 has more programability as far as midi goes so it may not work the same... but probably worth a try.

  So all I need to do is set up a patch on my m5, re-save my xt live patch and I'm good to go?

    that's all i need to do with the HD500... cant confirm or deny the xt...
    (and of course the midi needs to be connected for that to work on the HD's)

      Well I can confirm now that with the XT Live, doing a re-save with one midi cable connected does NOT work to change the patch on the M5. Is having two midi cables connected going to change anything?
      
      Any one out there with MIDI experience with the XT Live?

Re: Xt Live to change presets on M5?

So I managed to answer my own question! I was watching a youtube video and they mentioned patch 1A lines up with patch 1A on another device. So I had everything set up last night and checked out those patches on my XT Live. Low and behold, the patches on my M5 changed. Feeling a little dumb, but I'm glad I got it figured out. IT WORKS!
