I’m trying to automate program changes to my Yamaha X70XS.
I’ve a recent Focusrite 4i4
I’m modeling my approach after the recent MODx thread, though I’m playing the S70, not just using it as a tone generator.
Binding Song, OnLoad sending program change as MSB.LSB.PN 63.03.36. Testing the binding with the monitor using the test button shows what appears to be the correct data.
Binding is routed to “External Synth” which is routed to the Focusrite 4i4. I’m using a cable that works correctly as Input, swapping the ports at both ends. Swapping it back, it still works.
So naturally the synth isn’t responding.
MIDI connection is “MIDI” not USB
Receive channel is Omni
Any detail I’m missing, either on the Yamaha or the Focusrite that could be tripping this up?
MIDI implementation sheet seems to say it should work, but I know sometimes the synth OS can be quirky to say the least.
I Haven’t tried using the USB interface, as I’m more than a little paranoid about putting things on USB that I need to be reliable.
Thanks
