Hi all, I have a POD HD500 and Roland GR-55 synth and trying to understand how to change patches on the GR-55 from my POD HD500. I have them connected via MIDI cable (both set to MIDI channel 2). With the GR-55's Map Select parameter set to 'Fix', the GR-55 changes patches in sequence with the POD's patches, e.g.: POD patch # GR-55 patch # 1A User 01-1 1B User 01-2 1C User 01-3 1D User 02-1 However I want to use the GR-55's patch change mapping feature in order to map the Patch Change commands from the POD to non-sequential patches within the GR-55, as the above sequential method is too restrictive. So, from within the GR-55's 'RX PC MAP' tab, I set the Map Select parameter to 'Prg' then configured some Patch Change numbers and corresponding GR-55 patches to be selected, but then the GR-55 doesn't change any patches at all - it just seems to stop responding. The only way I can get it to successfully change to the mapped patches in the way I want is if I then subsequently connect the POD HD500 to my computer via USB, and force a patch change from the POD HD500 Edit application, but that's not something I can use during live performance. If anyone can help me out it'd be very much appreciated, as I've searched high and low online in addition to scanning both POD & GR-55 manuals and it's now driving me crazy! Cheers!
