Midi Song Number and new Bindings

Cantabile
1

I’m using iOS app Set List Maker which transmits midi messages to my laptop via iConnectMIDI2. Set List Maker allows a midi song number to be assigned to each song entry.

I see one of the new setlist binding options is “Load song with program” which according to the Blog loads the song with a program number matching the value sent via MIDI. It sounds like this type of binding might be useful for loading a song by midi song number, but it may be something entirely different. Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Hi @LeesKeys

From memory I think Set List Maker is sending MIDI Song events for that - not program changes. So to binding this in Cantabile I think something like this will work:

(Note that “Song Select” is right at the bottom of the event picker list)

Makes sense, but it doesn’t work. Nothing happens in Cantabile when I swipe to the next song in Set List Maker.

Hi Lee,

In Options -> Diagnostics turn on Console Logger and Log MIDI In events and let me know what events are being sent.

When I activate the song in SLM, here’s the resulting Midi script. This particular song’s midi song number is 65 in SLM

HI Lee,

OK, F3 is actually a MIDI Song Select message. Perhaps something is broken there - I’ll check it out.

Hi @LeesKeys

Give build 3172 a go - should fix this I think.

Didn’t work. I’ll run the console logger again and send that to you

Send me a screen shot of your binding too.

The problem was “operator error”. Sorry to waste your time Brad
