Same here,
I am also looking for some instruction on the HD500X as a midi controller for the GR-55.
I was able to get it working with the RX PC Mapping inside the GR-55, but it would only select patches from the same bank on the GR-55.
After messing with it more, I cant even get it to do that now.
How I have/want things set up is like this:
HD500X:
FS1 - PC to GR-55
FS2 - PC to GR-55
FS3 - PC to GR-55
FS4 - PC to GR-55
FS5 - HD500X Patch A - PC to GR-55
FS6 - HD500X Patch B - PC to GR-55
FS7 - HD500X Patch C - PC to GR-55
FS8 - HD500X Patch D - PC to GR-55
Inside of the GR-55, you can assign any patch to a PC# under System>Midi>RX PC Map.
I have set these to the GR-55 patches that I would like to reference with the assigned PC#
(This allows you to select patches from anywhere, without having to dupe or build out a logically flowing set list to progress through.)
With this in mind, my goal is to select a patch on the HD500X (A, B, C, D) and have it send a PC to select my desired patch on the GR-55.
Also I would like to have FS5-8 send PC changes to the GR-55, but not affecting anything on my HD500X patch.
This would allow you to have 5 GR-55 patches available to each patch on the HD500X.
My channel is set to 2 on both units (to avoid the factory PC that are sent when hitting A, B, C, D.
My cables are hooked up correctly, and have selected PC 1, 2, 3, 4 for FS4-8
In the GR-55, I have the Map Select to fix, as this should allow random access to patches, (selecting patches regardless of their bank).
So I had it slightly working, but now after trying again today, it isnt working.
If anyone has any insight into this, and would like to share here with us, that would great!
