Midi issue and diagnosis

[RSVMark]

Hi all. Wondering if anyone can help on this diagnosis. Sorry for the long post but it’s a full description to avoid wasting people’s time.

 

i have a GigRig G3s controlling 3 midi pedals: channel 1 is an H9, channel 2 is a Jackson audio golden boy, and channel 3 is my new HX one. They are daisy chained G3>HX1>H9>Gb purely due to cables and pedal board layout.

 

i have changed the global settings of the HX1 to be channel 3 and midi thru obvs. 
 

All midi commands (pc and cc) work as intended to the H9 and GB meaning the cabling works,  and the HX1 is sending midi commands onwards via midi thru.

 

I have set a patch up to toggle the HX1 on/off using a cc command on channel 3 which also works fine.

 

Here is the thing- I can’t figure out why the pc commands don’t work on the HX1 because they do on the other pedals. This is where I am at.

 

I have hx user presets saved at 000 and 001 in the HX1 and when I load the G3 preset (call it number 1) which contains the midi pc command 00, it fails to load 000. In fact, nothing happens on the HX1 but the other pedals respond. (The G3 can send up to 20 midi messages per G3 preset so effectively you just program in as many as you need). On the adjacent G3 preset (call that G3 number 2), I check and the toggle on off works. I go back to the G3 preset number 1, again, th epic message does work. Next I go into the midi menu in G3 preset 1 and I change the pc from 000 to 001. And then when I exit the menu, it executes the pc message and the HXone switches to 001. I then play about a bit more (change the HX one sound and go to totally different G3 preset) and when I go back to G3 preset 1 which now contains  HX1 preset 001, it is unresponsive. I then repeat the exercise, amend the midi message back to pc 00 and on exit from the midi menu, it triggers the HX One again which accepts the pc change back to preset 000

 

So it appears I have narrowed it down to either:

1. Fault on the G3 which appears to be sending the midi message on exit of the menu only but I rule that out as the other pedals work as intended with pc messages

2. Fault on the HX one which fails to recognise the pc change

3. User error and set up issue

 

the HX one is brand new and updated to 3.81

 

Belp very much appreciated!

In the Settings View make sure the MIDI PC Rx parameter is set to “On”
