Mod Duo X Midi Snapshot config

Using MOD devices
#1

I have been unable to get my Mod Duo X to respond to Midi messages which should (afaict) be changing Snapshots.

The docs are very sparse in this area… and I’ve tried a number of things. (Yes, I’m sure MIDI is being sent on the channel selected in the System → Sync & Midi → Shapshot MIDI setup. :slight_smile:

Can someone provide a reliable step-by-step for getting this working? A bit stymied here.

TIA!

This should be pretty straight forward. Are you checking the documentation on the wiki?
If yes, as a sort of troubleshooting I would suggest you to try the channel immediately before and immediately after to the one that you believe you are sending.
Meaning:
If you set it up to send over channel 3, try the channel 3, but also the 2 and the 4

Let me know if anything works.

Hi Jon, thanks for your help.

I have discovered the problem! The controller unit is sending Notes on the selected channel, not Program Change messages! So “not working” is the correct behavior. :wink:

(Sorry, the controller unit’s docs were not clear… but hooking up a midi monitor revealed the truth!)

So the mission has changed!

Now, Is there a way to trigger Program Change messages with Notes (e.g. a Midi Utility)? And can these be routed to the Mod’s inputs such that it responds?
Or is there another way to accomplish changing snapshots with an input of Midi notes?

I have found a Note2PC plugin in @x42’s Midifilter repo here… but this doesn’t seem available in the Plugin Store.

Let’s say I could hypothetically get it built for Mod Duo X… Can the output of this be used to control the Mod’s Snapshots?

You can use the mindi infamous :wink:

The infamous mindi plugin is able to incercept incoming midi note messages, transform them to midi change and “inject” them back to the device as if they were coming from a connected device? didn’t know that

#7

ok. Sorry for my short explanation before.
You can do all of that except inputing it back in the device. For that you have two options:

  • 1: create an external MIDI loop connecting the MIDI out to the MIDI In of the device;
  • 2: wait a couple of weeks for the 1.11 :slight_smile: a virtual MIDI loop should become available.

That would be a welcome upgrade!
