I'm new with the FX8
I was using my JVM410C with a G System and the channel switching was flawlessly
But now I can't make the channels change with the FX8.
When I save any MIDI change, all the other presets of the FX8 load the same channel on my JVM, no matter what, just the last saved config will be recalled.
Would you could be a more specific on the procedure you use to program and control the JVM through the FX8
That will be very useful to me.
I'm trying to avoid the use of the MIDI block and I just want to use the program change messages that the FX8 sends with every preset change.
Thanks
This is taken from an older conversation :
ok, first I want to know: is your midi led still flashing after you send the PC command from the FX8 ?
If so :
- check your midi connenction (from out on the FX8 to in on the JVM)
- are they on the same midi channel (default channel 1) ?
You can reset the JVM to listen to channel 1 by doing the following :
Switch the amplifier off (Power switch, not Standby).
Press and hold the FOOTSWITCH / MIDI PROGRAM switch.
Switch the amplifier on (Power switch).
Release the FOOTSWITCH / MIDI PROGRAM switch, the LED will start to flash.
Send ANY MIDI command using your FX8.
The amplifier will detect which channel came in and configure itself to listen to that MIDI channel only.
- check on the midi page of the i/o setup menu : midi channel 1, Prog change On (I'm not sure this is necessary, but that's how I did it...)
- in stompbox mode go to the cfg page and scroll down to Midi PC and select the desired MIDI PC number (also check your midi channel again on that same page...)
Put your JVM in Midi Program mode and then turn the Value knob to change the PC (say from 0 to 1 as an example) you will transmit that last PC nr to the JVM (midi led flashes rapidly for a few seconds)
- Save your preset !
You can do this for every Scene.
Succes !
