Sending Program Change to Nord Drum 3

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Clavia/Nord

Hi.

This is my first time delving into using MIDIDesigner and I've come across my first stumbling block. :(

I've created a setup to control my Nord Drum 3 (which I'll share when it's all working properly) , and most of the settings appear to be working in the initial tests I've tried, but.... I don't seem to be able to get the Program Change to work.
I've assigned a Knob to the Bank Select LSB (CC 32 in the manual) and a Bank Select MSB (CC 0 in the manual) but they don't seem to have any effect on changing kits in the unit.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Answer 1

Have you tried the Midi message type of bank and program select?

Under the midi page of the control inspector, you want the message types of Program Change and Bank Select.  There is also a combined Program & Bank Select type, but I get better results using the two separately, then ganging them together with a super control.

Also look at the bank and program changes page in the Master's Course layout.  It may be more complicated than you need, but shows the concept.
