Uploading Presets from TC Helicon VoiceLive 3 into MD

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): TC-Helicon

I just bought MidiDesigner Pro 2 for the iPad. I am using it with the TC Helicon Voicelive 3, using the layout for it by Ed Saxmen. Though it seems to work, I can’t find a way of uploading Presets from the VoiceLive 3 into MD. Currently the presets in the "Favorites" screen are named by the original programmer and I'd like them to reflect the namesDo you you know how to do this? I am using an iPad 9th generation with the latest iOS. Thanks!

Answer 1

MIDI Designer does not currently read string data, so it cannot automatically load preset names.  I do not have the layout, but presume it is using "named ticks" for the presets.  In this case, there are three approaches:

1. Individually edit the named tick labels
2. In named ticks, select edit text, copy out to a spreadsheet or text editor, and bulk edit preset names there, then reload to MDP2
3. Build a MDP2 macro that recalls the preset names from the hardware, capture in a MIDI monitor program, format in a spreadsheet, and load as named ticks (Prolly only worth the effort if there are a lot of presets).  See mididr.com/qa/9176
