Hello,
I’m using Forscore on my ipad to get my lyrics and accords. When I choose a songtitle, forscore sents a midi command to my Motif to set the right setting. I use mostly the ‘songmode’ and that is working pretty good.
Is there anyone who can give me a hint? gr. René |

If you can send SysEx messages to the XS…
To select the Mode on an XS set as device #1, send:

Hi 5pinDIN, Yesss! It’s working great!! Thanx!! Can I ask you just one question maybe? WHen I switch to a song mode and a particular song, it would be great if I can set the zone number! I have programmed my sounds to play in zone number 2, and I switch to zone number 1 to play a solo. What MIDI message should I use to startup a song in zone number 1? |

You’re welcome!

It’s unclear (at least to me) what you want to accomplish. There are no zones in Song mode, only Master. When a Song is first selected, button [1] is lit, and Track 1 is selected. By default that Track will transmit on MIDI Channel 1 (and Track 2 on Channel 2, etc.)
The default Transmit Channel can be changed.

I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant.

There’s no way to set the default to Track 2. However, you can reverse the Transmit Channel assignment. See my previous post in this thread. Try setting Track 1 TxCh to “2”, and Track 2 TxCh to “1”. STORE the result if that accomplishes what you want.
If not…

Hi 5pinDIN, I Will try to be more clearly. I thought iT would be helpful if I use a certain setup in all my songs, so i’ve programmed my songs as follows:
Track 1. To play solo. Transmitting MIDI Channel 1 (often with use of Breath controllers)
In track 2-7 I use several kind of sounds which will be sounding together, or e.g. I’ve made Some splitpoints to a certain part of my keyboard. (E.g. Track 2 for playing strings with left-hand, track 3 in the middle of the keyboard to get a specific sound, and track 4 on the right side of the keyboard to play Some organ).
So, when we start a new song, I’ve to push ‘Track’ and ‘Button 2’ to get my ‘normal sounds’ to play for that song.
Normally when we’ve a gig, I program the Motif in ‘Master mode’ to be fast in switching between the different songs. In Master you can program the ‘Zone’ in which you want to start a song. And that zone is ‘2’ for me!!
So, now you’ve helped me to make iT possible to sent the right MIDI messages from Forscore to my keyboard when I choose a song on my IPad, iT isn’t nessecary anymore to use the ‘Master mode’ .
The Only thing I’ve have to do, is pushing the ‘Track’ button once, and then push ‘Button 2’ before start playing every song. And now my question: is iT possible to sent a MIDI message from my IPad to my Motif XS, to setup thuis ‘Track 2 Button’ ???? (Ofcourse after choosing ‘Song mode’ and ‘Song Number’ by MIDI Message).

I’ll also attempt to be clearer: No, the Track 2 button can’t be selected via MIDI. I previously explained how to get all the Parts assigned to Track 2 to be selected by button [1], and for the single Part assigned to Track 1 to be selected by button [2]. That causes the layered or split sounds to be selected by default when a Song is selected. The solo sound would then be selected with button [2]. Pressing button [1] would return to the layered/split sounds. Alternatively, you could reprogram the Tracks and Parts in all your Songs. I think my way is easier. Why don’t you apply what I suggested on one of your Songs? If that doesn’t accomplish your goal, kindly explain what the problem is. |
