Hi, I've been trying to change programs on my synth for over a month and have tried everything I can think of with no luck.
MIDI out MPC to MIDI in Akai MiniAK synth
MIDI in from MPC to MIDI out Akai MiniAK synth
Synth is set to receive and transmit starting on channel 1
and set to send and receive program changes
MPC set to MIDI receive on all channel with soft thru on
Mode > Program > Program Change off (I've tried this set to a number but I don't think it's meant for what I want it to do)
Created sequence from Song Mode
With Song sequence selected, Mode > Step Edit
Add CC at beginning of sequence set to 32 | 100 (32 is supposed to be sound bank select and 100 is the bank associated with Setups on the MiniAK)
Add PC at the same step or I've tried 1 step after as 145 (the Setup is actually 144 but need to add 1)
Mode > Sequence > Play Song sequence and expecting MiniAK synth to change to proper setup (I change it prior for the test) but nothing happens. Doesn't even change to an incorrect setting which would at least mean something is happening. Just plays the sequence using whatever sounds are associated with the random setup I chose for my test.
[ Maybe I need to be in Song Mode and not Sequence Mode? Just thought of this and will try when I get home ]
Any help would be great. I've posted in a few other forums with no luck. MPC-1000 looks super simple from the YouTube video I found and I already know I won't be able to scroll through sounds on the fly but I'm fine with that. I just need to change the Setup at the beginning of a song.
Thanks
