rd2rk Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 If the IN goes to the OUT and vice versa, Global Settings>MIDI/Tempo MIDI PC Rx and MIDI PC Tx are set to MIDI or MIDI+USB, and the Base Channel is set to the same channel as the ES-8 (default 1), then you should be good. Bad cables? Are you changing the ES-8 from the Stomp, or the Stomp from the ES-8? The Stomp will send it's PC# (01A=000), and change to whatever the ES-8 sends (000=01A). If both are sending, then when the ES-8 sends 000, the Stomp will also send 000. Maybe you're creating a MIDI feedback loop, and that's causing the error? Which is the controller, and which is controlled? If the Stomp is the controller, disable MIDI PC Rx, and vice versa? Look for other MIDI settings in the ES-8.
