bsimmons106 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I'm having difficulty getting my HX Effects to control my Roland GR-20 Synth. I'm sure its something I'm doing wrong and was hoping for some guidance. I'm using command center 'Midi CC' on a footswitch. I've confirmed my midi channels are matching (Channel 1) but after that is where I get confused. The instructions on the GR-20 say during the patch setup to send the signal from the HX Effects, then select the synth setting on the GR-20 so it remembers it. I'm doing that, but it doesn't seem to register anything. I'm sending a CC# of 1 and a Value of 1. I'm confused on what those settings do as well. Obviously this is my first time trying to use MIDI. I wonder if I have certain midi settings turned off?! Any guidance would be appreciated thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Make sure that the HXFX MIDI OUT is connected to the GR20 MIDI IN. If you're trying to toggle something ON/OFF, a Value of 0-63 is OFF, 64-127 is ON. Usually. Some devices use the reverse. You'll need the switch set to TOGGLING for that. Be aware that, if the HXFX works like the Floor, as soon as you select a preset, all of that preset's TOGGLING switch messages will be sent.

Although I didn't find one specifically for the HX Effects & GR-20 you may find these videos helpful in getting things set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
