I am having a hard time figuring out if there's a good way to do this.
Current setup:
What I'd like to do, though, is to start using Bandhelper's MIDI capability, via Bluetooth, to send preset/scene changes as songs are called up on the setlist. I have a choice of a Yamaha MD-BT01 (requires a MIDI out port to power it) or a Puc (battery powered) to help on the bluetooth side.
I got a MIDI Merge - DoreMidi Merge-5 , but it doesn't seem to do what I need it to do. When hooked up the way I think it needs to be hooked up, scenes just start bouncing around on both the AxeFX and the RJM, making me think there's a delay loop or something in the MIDI communication. Here's how I have it hooked up:
MIDI Out <—5 pin DIN—> Merge IN 1 <—5 pin DIN—> AxeFX MIDI IN
RJM <—5 pin DIN—> RJM Adapter
MIDI In <—5 pin DIN—> Merge OUT 1 <—5 pin DIN—> AxeFX MIDI OUT
My thinking was that all I'd need to do was hook up the Puc to one of the Merge MIDI Ins and I should be able to have it work. But I can't even get it to work without the Puc involved. Has anyone here been able to make a setup like this work? If so, could you please give an outline of what you had to do?
Current setup:
- RJM Mastermind GT connects to...
- 7-pin MIDI cable, connects to...
- Power adapter/converter box - basically provides power to the RJM, and converts 1 MIDI out and 1 MIDI in port to the 7-pin jack
- Two standard MIDI cables from that converter box to the AxeFX3
