Still not fixed the issue. And it’s incredibly frustrating because there doesn’t seem to be any consistency in the error. Long post warning:
My GigRig G3s is controlling 3 midi pedals: channel 1 is an H9, channel 2 is a Jackson audio golden boy, and channel 3 is my new HX one. They are daisy chained G3>HX1>H9>Gb purely due to cables and pedal board layout.
i have changed the global settings of the HX1 to be channel 3 and midi thru obvs.
All midi commands (pc and cc) work as intended to the H9 and GB meaning the cabling works, and the HX1 is sending midi commands onwards via midi thru.
I have set a G3 preset up to toggle the HX1 on/off using a cc command on channel 3 which also works fine. This is on preset 10 and only sends 1 midi message, nothing else.
I have hx user presets saved at 000 and 001 in the HX1 and when I load the G3 preset number 1 which has 2 midi messages- one on ch1 to the h9, then one on channel 3 to the Hx 1. Both are pc messages and the one destined for the hx1 which contains the midi pc command 00, it fails to load 000. In fact, nothing happens on the HX1 but the h9 pedal respond because there are other pc messages intended for them. On the adjacent G3 preset (call that G3 number 2), I check and the toggle on off works. I go back to the G3 preset number 1, again, the pc message does work. Next I go into the midi menu in G3 preset 1 and I change the pc from 000 to 001. And then when I exit the menu, it executes the pc message and the HXone switches to 001. I then play about a bit more (change the HX one sound and go to totally different G3 preset) and when I go back to G3 preset 1 which now contains HX1 preset 001, it is unresponsive. I then repeat the exercise, amend the midi message back to pc 00 and on exit from the midi menu, it triggers the HX One again which accepts the pc change back to preset 000.
i have tried switching the order of the pc messages so the one to the h9 is after the one to the hx1, and that doesn’t work. The g3 has 20 midi commands per preset so I move the Hx pc change to command 3 (trying to simulate a gap by leaving command 2 ‘empty’ and there’s so change.
I tried to add cc messages too: send a pc message to change patch, but then a cc to turn on….. nope.
All hx1 presets are saved in the on state. So if the Hx 1 pedal is off, I am assuming the pc message changes the preset to the one desired and turns in on…….
i have a call with GigRig support tomorrow to check my G3 is working correctly but at the moment, all pointers are on the hx1 being at fault I am afraid…..
