HX One Listen to MIDI Channel 1 even though is in MIDI Channel 4 (Not Omni)

[chandracly]

Here is my setup to reproduce the issue:

 

- Pedal 1: Unity 6 (Channel 16)

- Pedal 2: Jackson Audio Broken Arrow (Channel 1)

- Pedal 3: HX One (Channel 4)

 

Button 1 Configuration:

 

- Message 1: Channel 1 > Press > CC > Number 2 > Value 0 (Pedal 2 Boost)

- Message 2: Channel 1 > Press > CC > Number 1 > Value 0 (Pedal 2 Drive)

 

Expected Behavior:

Button 1 should only control Pedal 2 (Jackson Audio Broken Arrow).

 

Actual Behavior:

Button 1 also emulates an ON/OFF switch on the HX One (which uses CC 1), despite the HX One being set to Channel 4.

 

Anyone has similar issue?

Not sure this is relevant but here’s a snippet from the manual:

 

“Note that MIDI OUT/THRU is always sent on Channel 1.”

What MIDI Controller are you using?

Have you used a MIDI Monitor to verify that it is actually sending what you think it is sending?

I’m using Unity6 by Jet Pedals. I’ve discovered an issue: I can’t connect the HX ONE to the last device in my MIDI chain. When I receive too many MIDI signals simultaneously, it starts listening to random CC values. However, it works perfectly when I place it at the beginning of my MIDI chain.

I'd like to help you, but I can't help if you ignore my questions.

Have you used a MIDI Monitor to verify that your MIDI Controller (Unity6) it is actually sending what you think it is sending?

I've had a quick look at the Broken Arrow and the Unity6 product pages.

It looks like you need one of these:

 

Amazon.com: Cable Matters 5-PIN DIN MIDI Splitter Cable (Dual MIDI Cable) - 0.5 Meters / 1.6 Feet : Musical Instruments

 

Connect the single DIN to the UNITY6 MIDI OUT and connect one of the Splits to the TRS adapter cable going to the Broken Arrow and the other to the HX ONE.

 

If the UNITY6 is sending HX ONE commands on Channel 4 and the HX ONE is configured to listen on Channel 4, then it should work.

Likewise for the Broken Arrow on Channel 1.

Sorry about that, no I don't, but by swapping the chain solved the issue. Now I put the HC One at the beginning of my MIDI Chain and works as expected.
