Brazzy Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Should I be able to use just one midi cable going from the HD500 "midi out" to the DT50 "midi in" to send a signal to the DT in order to turn on and off the DT's midi options such as the boost, change channel, etc.?

Whenever I have connected to a DT from my POD I used a pair for 2 way communication but I am thinking you should be able to just send from the POD to the DT. Is it not working? Are you sending on Channel 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to try to use it to change channels and use the boost and maybe try some other settings changes using midi. I still need to try it. I think channel 1 is the one I need to use, is it not?

Yes, the DT listens on Channel 1. Will you be using more than one DT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CipherHost Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Also, ColonelForbin was doing some experimenting with MIDI a while back and I think he would be a good resource. Hopefully he will chime in with some of his findings. I take it you want to do this because you like the 4CM. Does it really sound better to you with the DT amp? I suppose it is doubling your PRE amp signal if you are using the PREs. If you are using the Full amps I would think you would easily get clipping. Or are you not using amp sim at all?

It does clip easy with full models but it it seems workable at low volume. The pre's are the go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
