Hey, new here and LOVING my FM9 so far. Had it for 2 months, and finally finished my board with it (pics coming soon). Question for those of you using your FM9 with other MIDI gear:
How do you send a Program Change Message to a Boss unit, like a 500 Series unit? I already know you can...
How do you send a Program Change Message to a Boss unit, like a 500 Series unit? I already know you can...
- Set up "Send PC" in the Setup/MIDI menu. That is working...but I have to have my "Preset 1" located on Present #257 on the FM9 it order to "force" my RC-500 to change to User Memory 1. So I would have to keep the order of Presets between the FM9 and RC-500 exactly the same. Not ideal.
- Use the Scene MIDI Block to send messages from each scene change. But I don't want to waste an outgoing message slot sending that PC message on each scene change if I can do it when I just load the FM9 preset before the song. Also, I can't find out ANYWHERE online or in the Boss manuals if the RC-500 ignores duplicate MIDI PC messages. Because if not, that means the RC-500 will try to reload the preset every time I flip scenes on the FM9. Not ideal either.
