HX Stomp + RJM PBC6X Midi help!

[johnnygomezmusic]

Hello!

 

So I have a rig with the RJM PBC6X and the HX Stomp.  The HX Stomp is used strictly for effects.  The RJM is used in 'setlist' mode where every preset is a section of a song, and every bank is a song.  So one song will share the same HX Stomp patch of effects.  

 

The first preset/section of a song will send a PC to the HX to load a patch as well as any CC's to turn off/on the necessary blocks for that song section.  Then the next section will send CC's to further turn on/off the blocks as needed.  This works fine for the most part.

 

For some reason, when loading the first preset of a song, it will send the PC and the HX patch will come up correctly but the CC's don't always hit.  For example, CC4 is assigned to one reverb block, CC5 is assigned to a different reverb block, and CC8 is assigned to a trem block.

 

Initially, the HX patch is saved with the trem block OFF but the first section of the song needs trem ON.  So I send the PC for that patch as well as CC#8 Value 127 for trem ON.  The patch comes up, but no trem.  The next section doesn't use trem, so it sends the same PC but CC#8 Value 0 for OFF.  The trem stays off.  If I go back to the first section, THEN it'll activate the trem.  So seemingly, the initial HX patch recall doesn't recognize the CC but subsequent recalls will.

 

I'm wondering if not resending the PC for every section might help?  Like only send the PC for the first section (with the HX blocks saved to ON for that section) and then only send CC's for the next sections?

 

Does there need to be a WAIT command after sending the PC before it receives CC's?

 

Been going a little coocoo with this client's setup so any help would be super helpful!  thanks y'all!

Is your HXS running v3.15 of the FW? That version or the one just before it added a WAIT between executing PC and CC.

It also sounds like what you should be doing is using Snapshots rather than sending CCs.

That WAIT was mainly added so that selecting a Snapshot other than the default (the active Snapshot when the Preset was SAVED) would work.

EDIT: Once a Preset is selected you don't need to resend the PC, just CC#69 with the SS Value (0-2 or 0-3 if it's an HXSXL)

Hey!  Thank you for your response and so sorry I never checked back!  I never got a notification that there was a response to this thread and assumed no one had any ideas.  I'll have to double check my email settings.

 

It seems like my client has sorted things out as I stopped hearing from him, so perhaps he found a more efficient way to program his rig.

 

Thanks again for your time and help!  I will recommend snapshots if this happens again.
