mgamache Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I noticed that my HD500x shows up as a midi input device, but not a midi output device on my windows computer. Is this normal? Is there a way to enable midi control of the HD500x from usb? I am building some software to manage my bands live show and want to do patch changes etc.. from my computer.

cclement Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 To the best of my knowledge, the HD500x only does MIDI over the MIDI ports... not over USB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 To the best of my knowledge, the HD500x only does MIDI over the MIDI ports... not over USB. This is correct. There's no MIDI over USB functionality, in or out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgamache Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 FYI my system (Windows 8.1 + HD500x - Latest Firmware) with Variax Attached It shows up as a midi input device via USB. I haven't done any testing to make sure it works, but it's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpack99 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 This is correct. There's no MIDI over USB functionality, in or out. If I may ask you, I got a POD HD PRO. I would assume it can't be controlled vie USB either? The thing is, I want to change patch with a command from cubase. Is it only possible via midi or can I do it with just the USB somehow? Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to use a separate USB to MIDI device to do what you want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the HD500X is connected to the PC via USB, the in/out hardware midi ports on the HD500X will not function as Windows midi ports? They simply work as hardware midi ports for the 500X itself - correct? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
