Has anyone managed to send bank and program change messages from Abelton 10 to Virus ti2(Darkstar)?
I was only able to change multi.
Has anyone managed to send bank and program change messages from Abelton 10 to Virus ti2(Darkstar)?
I was only able to change multi.
I used to control Access virus Indigo 2 with Ableton 9.
I am trying to figure out where is the problem, Virus or Ableton?
AFAIR there‘s a configuration setting in the Virus which let‘s you select how program changes are recognized and whether they switch multies or part programs.
Thank you for helping.
I see options to enable and disable multi and program change messages, but I don`t see other option that is related to multi and program changes.
Can you give me an exact parameter name or what are you refering to exactly?
Zitat von Access Virus TI Reference Manual, p 125Config Menu Parameters
This menu is opened by pressing the CONFIG button to the left of the display. It contains global parameters that determine how the entire Virus works. Configuration data does not have to be explicitly stored.
MIDI
Program Change
Disabled, Enabled: Specifies whether the MIDI message “Program Change” will switch Single programs. This applies to programs in Single mode as well as PARTs in Multi or sequencer mode.
Multi Prog. Change
Disabled, Enabled: Specifies whether the MIDI message “Program Change” will switch the entire Multi Mode program if received on the global MIDI channel.
Yep, all enabled.
But I think, I just started to see the light.
I tried to send single program changes from one Ableton clip through the midi global channel. That s why multi change works.
So probably I should try to chnage singles per midi basis. I am going to give a try.
It seems that is correct. In multimode single-program and bank-changes must be sent per midi channel and track basis. Multi program changes must be sent on Global midi.
However, another issue, the bank changes work between A-D, and after every the 4th number in the Ableton pmg field rotates between A-D.
All figured out:
Summing up:
This is a valid function when the TI VST is not in use. Virus should be used in Multimode and hooked up through midi cable.
Multi-program changes must be sent on Global midi and the corresponding field in the Ableton clip is Pgm. Note that there is a lag when it happens for at least 2-4 beats there is no sound.
Inside a multiprogram, the Single-program and Bank changes must be sent out per midi-track and midi channel. The corresponding fields in Ableton clip: Sub = Bank changes, Pgm = Single-program changes.
Glad you got it to work!
