Hey guys,
Im a very happy new FX8 MKii owner, but I have run into an interesting problem.
I use the RJM Mastermind PBC to control my entire rig (FX8 included). With my workflow, I map PBC buttons to turn certain FX8 blocks on and off basically to have a quick recall button on the pbc but I have run into an issue where the FX8 only acknowledges some of the pre-programmed factory midi CC's
I have no problems getting my delay, flanger, and drive blocks to follow the CC's, however, the phaser, rotary, pitch, tremolo and reverb effects are not following (as well as their X/Y CCs). I have double checked the FX8 itself to make sure the i/o controls are mapped correctly internally. They definitely are. (CPU usage is floating around 70% on most fx8 presets im running.)
Now the interesting part, I had a Pitch block open today and accidentally selected midi CC Phaser 1 instead of the pitch CC, lo-and-behold Phaser 1 CC turns the pitch block on/off!
Same with the Reverb, it was Phaser 2 CC that would change the Reverb 1 block.
I havent found what random CC changes the rotary or phaser yet.
When I fire the pbc button, I can see the fx8 is recieving the midi command, but nothing happens unless I have the wrong CC selected.
Coincidentally, if I use the pbc to change a whole scene, all the blocks(in any assortment) change correctly as a scene, its only when I individually try to control one block.
So it seems that something is off internally in code somewhere? What do you guys think?
Again, i have triple checked the i/o page midi cc's on the FX8 itself and they read exactly as the manual does per the factory settings. I have even tried changing these to other random or open CC's but those certain effects (trem, pitch, rotary, reverb) will not map to their CC's.
Thank you for the help
