Cc 32 program change - Mask 1
Avi F | Posted on Thu 07 Dec 2023, 09:17 PM hello, So I'm currently thinking about setting my mask 1 up for performance, to use cc to select different presets using program change commands, but the msb part is not as clear to me. I know it works slightly different with different midi controllers and synths too. If possible to set up different parts on my faderfox mx12 using the 12 green buttons , I basically would want to put together banks of presets from the mask 1 , but i have not understood if it's possible yet or, if so, how to tell the mask 1 which preset I want at each button on the controller. Maybe i can also check with faderfox community since it might have particular settings to enable this. |

Bank 0 contains factory presets. Banks 1-4 contain user voices. So if you send program changes from 0 to 127 without ever sending CC32, you will access presets. If you send CC 32 before, for example with the value 1, you will select user voices from 0 to 127. If you send value 2, you will select user voices from 128 to 255, etc. |
| Avi F | Posted on Mon 11 Dec 2023, 05:41 AM thanks, ok! Yes I can now get sounds to change for the factory presets, that turned out to be rather simple matter; I now only need to figure out how to change mask1 user banks on that controller, and select preset recall per button push. its honestly not a super important thing more like a 'nice' thing im trying for. Some midi controllers i have have it easier to access, is why I asked, because getting the bank number from '0' to another, isn't very straightforward [for me] on the faderfox. But I think I may have found out how, and that is on the encoder mode for "CCah" standing for two control change commands (MSB/LSB). The digital readout almost kind of pairs well with mask 1 in that way. I will attempt to try this some time later this week to see if it will allow me to change sounds. |
| Avi F | Posted on Mon 11 Dec 2023, 08:28 PM ok so update on bank change - the faderfox does let you change to 14 bit hi res mode for encoder, which technically according to that manual allows for bank change msb/lsb as well, but im so confused ill just dial the sound manually. I am just afraid that if i switch that, the other midi CC i have done for sound changes, might not work since they are in 7 bit absolute mode. At least i can button push factory presets which sound amazing in and of themselves, to play live [in about a month i will] so this will work well anyway. Plenty of good ones to choose from |
| KODAMO | Posted on Tue 12 Dec 2023, 12:37 PM You don't need any high precision mode, simply take control over CC32 and use it only with values from 0 to 4. Once you selected bank with CC32, you can send program changes. |
| Avi F | Posted on Sun 17 Dec 2023, 04:31 PM Hi - thanks for your assistance on this ; I have been able to do true midi program changes [see below] - but, not to the extent i hoped, yet.Now back to making some sounds again! |
| Avi F | Posted on Wed 20 Dec 2023, 06:02 PM It works! Mathias from faderfox responded and also like you suggested I implemented cc 32. To change banks it turns out I needed a separate fader or knob on the mx12 in cc mode with lo and high set both to 1 2 3 or 4 and the other adjacent fader I set to program change mode on the controller, to select each program from 00 to 99, to select increments of 100. Works perfectly |
