Prevent POD HD500x to send MIDI program change to M9

[scias23]

I want to hook a M9 to my POD HD via MIDI to control the tap tempo of M9 via POD HD tap button. However I don't want the POD HD to send MIDI program change to M9. I basically have one delay setting across all my patches so the M9 has my delay setting.

 

Thoughts anyone?

There was a couple of discussions about integrating the two before

The good news is that for what you want you are OK.  The HD500 doesn't send a tempo change that the M9 would recognise, but you can program the tap tempo button:

 

From phil_m in the second of those threads:

 

"The M9 can receive MIDI clock, but not send it.  The HD500 does neither.  Anyway, though, you can assign the correct CC# to the tap tempo switch on the HD500 and send that to the M9.  This would sync the M9 whenever you actually tap a tempo on the HD500.  CC#64 is what you need to send from the HD500 to the M9.  The HD500 Advanced Guide explains how to do this on page B-4."

 

So set the M9 to listen to a different MIDI channel to the global channel on the HD (so that program change are ignored), then program the hd tap-tempo to sent CC#64 on the channel that the M9 listens to. The bad news is that you will need to set this up separately for every HD patch.

I already read those threads. What I need is a solution that won't require additional equipment. It seems like the PoD HD always sends program change message..

That's why you change the MIDI channel on the M9 - so it won't respond to program change messages from the HD. This solution requires no extra equipment.

Thanks for clarifying!
