I’m trying to “learn” this midi thing to control my guitar tones without having to pedal jump all over the place and you’re giving me some great ideas to start testing! Thanks Peter for a great product and great instruction as well.

How did it go?

this is EXTREMELY powerful!! - I used 3 guitar pedals (1 transposing my guitar, 1 being my main guitar sound and the last pedal is for my vocal effects) - i can see an easy show - once i get myself wireless bluetooth/midi link via my ipad and the first pedal... Any advice on a cable option? I've never done midi from an ipad before, but i've been doing pedal linking for a long time. Amazing work Peter!

Hi Peter I am LOVING your app thanks!! Can you help me? I am giving midi commands from my iPad to my MG300 via a phone connector and usb cable to the MG300’s micro usb input. Problem: the song track is also passing through the MG300 and out of the PA on the guitar’s channel. This doesn’t happen with the Roland drums midi signal. MIDI command sent via usb A to usb B cable. And the song track still comes out through the PA’s bluetooth channel.

Hello, I find your application very practical and efficient, but I would like to suggest an improvement that could greatly increase its usefulness for users like me. Currently, I use two iPads synchronized through your application. One is connected to my mixing console via USB. I would like the second iPad to be able to control the first one while allowing the sound to come out of the first iPad. However, when I control the first iPad with the second, the sound does not come out of the first iPad as expected. Here is what I wish: 1. Remote Control: Be able to control an iPad connected to a mixing console from a second iPad. 2. Audio Output: Ensure that the audio continues to come out of the first iPad (the one connected to the mixing console) even when it is controlled by the second iPad. It is also possible that this feature already exists, but I have not found it because I do not speak English well and the application is not translated into French. If this is the case, could you please let me know how to proceed? Thank you for considering this suggestion. Best regards, Christophe Lemoine

Hi Peter. So impressed with your App, it is so powerful and well thought out. Could you please just help me with one problem however. I want to generate the click from my keyboard, but start the backing on StageTraxx when I press the play button on the synth. I’m using a wireless MIDI adapter but pressing play does not generate a MIDI command. What do I need to do to sync them both ? I really hope you can help

@stagetraxx

You mean the play button on your keyboard does not generate a midi command? Well in that case the only workaround would be to press play on Stage Traxx and send a midi command to your keyboard to start the click. But I think playback and click will run out of sync pretty quickly. It would be better if you add a click track in Stage Traxx.

If your lighting rig can be controlled by midi, then you can certainly use it to control lighting. There might be a bit of latency when sending midi (especially wireless midi) but I have not heard about this causing issues. You might want to test for yourself if this is acceptable to you. The iPad mini 2 can not run iOS 13 wich will be the minimum iOS version for Stage Traxx from 2023 on. At the moment the iPad mini 2 is fine.

What happened to the brackets [midi:] prefix that was specified in the online user manual? The syntax provided there worked fine for months and, recently, just stopped working for changing PC settings via WIDI Jack (w/ latest FW) on my Roland GT1000CORE? This syntax is completely incomplete and/or entirely different than that stated in the user manual. E.G.: I NEVER previously included the midi channel and it worked fine. When did this change take place? I have no idea.

@@stagetraxx Peter - I do not understand what has happened, but, suddenly, the syntax I previously embedded in the (iPad - 9th generation) Lyrics, as stated clearly in the online Stage Traxx3 User Manual, is no longer implementing Program Changes in my Roland GT-1000CORE via the paired WIDI Jack with the current firmware installed. The WIDI Jack flashes, as though the command is received, but the CORE patch remains unchanged. The syntax (example) I was previously embedding to have the PC occur when the song is selected, as a (first) single, unshared line, was as follows: [midi: PC008.1@00:00:00]. Under this command was [midi: SS@play] which still starts playing the song selected upon triggering it from a paired Roland FS-1-WL Bluetooth midi foot switch. I have tried other variations of the PC syntax and even have the CORE set to Omni mode. I never previously had to designate the midi channel after “@“ in the syntax, only the 00:00:00 time stamp and the PC changes would activate, based upon one PC number preceding the desired patch, as the Roland patches began with “00”. There are 4 banks and I am only using Bank 1, hence, the “.1” following the PC number. I seriously am at a loss to regain the operation I previously had with regard to “PC” implementation from Stage Traxx, and this has negatively impacted my weekend solo performances. Please comment, as reading and re-reading the Midi section of the User Manual, as well as following the instruction on the KZread videos has not resolved this problem. Thanks. 🎩😎🤙

My FA 08 Prog change works now thank you. but I cannot get my Yamaha MX88 to change patches. I have even put the whole syntax beginning with the MSB and LSB but its not changing. eg,(CC0.63@8,CC32.80@8,PC106@8) My other syntax is [midi: pc106.80@8] this was generated by the midi learn but which also is not responding. the midi patch changes work perfectly in Onsong so I know the MSB and LSB are correct, but I do not want to use that platform.

@stagetraxx

The learn function can not learn program changes where the MSB (CC0) is anything else than 0. So you will have to write it like you did with explicit CC0 and CC32 commands. Your syntax looks ok, but maybe try CC0.62 instead of CC0.63. Not sure if the MX88 starts numbering with 0 or 1, so you might have to try it out.

Yes, LSB can be send automatically with the program change syntax and if you also need MSB, you need to prepend the CC0 command before the PC. Example: CC0.1@1,PC3.2@1 to send MSB 1 and LSB 2 with program change 3.
