Anyone? For what its worth I also have a MIDI patch bay around here somewhere. Nevernused it but its definitely well used. We got it from my bandmates friends recording studio. I dont want to use a computer and software at this time. Thanks.

Hi. I have a Korg Electribe EMX-1(not the Electribe 2, mines the older metal one with tubes) and an HD500X floor unit. Right now I have to use an Alesis SR18 drum machine with a footswitch to start and stop songs Ive programmed in my Korg EMX-1 because we use it in our band. Everyone with me so far? Cool, so I have a prosthetic leg with very little residual limb left over, which makes footswitching while playing guitar, singing and doing it all in time stressful, difficult and unreliable. Still with me? Cool... So how do I use MIDI to sync up the mici channels between the Korg EMX-1 and the HD500X to where I can automate patch changes to switch effects for the verse, chorus, bridge etc of a song? Furthermore, how can I(or is it even possible to) do this when the midi clock on the EMX-1 is set to "external" and using the Alesis SR18s midi clock so I can start and stop those songs on the EMX-1 with a footswitch(EMX-1 cant start/stop on its own with a footswitch of any kind. It just cant be done without a master midi device)??? Is anyone still with me? Does this makes sense? Thank you in advance.

Hey gang. I know this is an old post but it makes more sense to add to it rather than start a new thread about the exact same thing. So I have the HD500X and my band uses a Korg EMX-1 drum machine/synth/sequencer for the drums and other instruments and an Alesis SR18 drum kachine with a footswitch to remotely start and stop the songs on the EMX-1 because the EMX-1 cant be remotely started and stopped on its own. So what I want to do is either/both: - Use midi from the EMX-1 to switch patch presets for me during a song so I dont have to use a footswitch because I have a prosthetic leg and its very hard for me to keep my balance and still play in time while accurately engaging the right footswitch. So during a song when the EMX changes to a certain pattern in the chain, I want the EMX-1 to automatically switch to the correct patch. For example clean guitar preset for the verse and distortion for the chorus. -I also want to be able to use the HD500X as the footswitch to start and stop these songs in the EMX-1. Again, I have to use our Alesis SR18 to do this because the EMX-1 doesnt have a midi channel for start/stop. The Alesis SR18 uses a 1/4" mono input jack that a momentary footswitch plugs into. We are currently using a Boss FS-5U for this, but can I use the HD500X somehow? Like by using the auxillary footswitch jack on the HD500X or is that only an input and not the output I need it to be? I hope this makes sense to yall I know theres a lot of moving pieces here. Thank you.
