Title: Old GEM keyboard problem..
Post by: DjTony1981 on November 13, 2017, 06:55:24 PM
Hi Dan, I'm using an old GEM keyboard as an expander with Roland styles, connecting it to vA2 with a USB-MIDI adapter cable. I'm noticing that in the presence of CC32 (bank select LSB) messages, the keyboard can not change the sounds. Is it an event timing problem? Probably the internal clock of the keyboard is slow in "reading" MIDI events compared to the computer's USB transmission. Is it possible to add a check to filter them from vA2? Or increase data transmission delay?
Thank you..

In KETRON mode, vArranger does not send CC32

GEM WK2..generally GEM skips CC32, but i think that at some transmission speed cause a "no" sound change ..

Right clic on a track, and change the CC32 to the value 0, and see if now it is OK
Maybe the WK2 doesn't change the sound, if it does not exists in its memory

Dan, I confirm your hypothesis .. I change to 0 the cc32 then the keyboard recognizes the sound .. ???

So you have to put the CC32 to 0 and save your sounds and styles to go with your GEM sound module

Exactly .. can you add a MIDI Filter (as I recall from me time ago) to filter CCs from vA2?

For now, I don't plan to add a ' GEM ' mode in the list...
