Sending Bank change / Program change to Controller

Hi,
I tried to send a bank and program change to my Edirol PCR-M30 controller, but it seems that nothing is recieved.
Sending it to my Korg Triton works flawless.

Any ideas how to get this to work on my Edirol PCR-M30 too?

*any* help is welcome. It might just be some simple setting I forgot.

Kind Regards,
Ed

Just called with Edirol in the states: "can't be done...."

So, it is just not possible.

I have an Edirol...it's just a controller that sends out data. However, it does receive data and parameter changes from the PCR Editor tool. If you can figure out how that data is sent and received, you might be able to figure out how to get the controller parameters to change. But it's prolly a lot more work that it's worth. Good luck.

Yep,
It can recieve SysEx commands, but Ableton Live does not support that. So, the only way to go is to define different programs and choose the right program by hand everytime you load up a new song.... bummer.

Check out various midi tools like Bome's Midi Translator. You might be able to convert a midi CC into a sysex. It's worth a shot...
