I’ve had similar challenges in the past and the culprit was a bad midi cable. If you have a cable tester, test all of your midi cables and make sure they’re all good.
Also agree with starting simple: PBC midi out -> midi cable -> 1st device’s midi in and making sure that’s working properly. If...
The VP4 needs a type A midi cable. If the VP4 is not responding to any midi messages and the mastermind is programmed correctly, I’m guessing that the cable you have might be a type B?
I’ve been trying out the midi functionality of the new Fractal VP4 with my Mastermind LT. I am aware that a proper profile (or whatever the correct terminology is) for the VP4 will be coming out in a month or so.
For now, I’ve setup a generic PC/CC device in the mastermind editor to control...
My main board has a RJM controller, but no RC-500.
I do have a RC-500 on a smaller “looping” board with a non RJM midi controller. I like what the RC-500 does, but I find the midi implementation to be a little head scratching:
1) When sending CC messages to trigger actions the RC-500, you have...
How many presets are you using? Do you have a couple “go to” presets or are we talking about hundreds of very different presets?
Would organizing them into songs & set lists help?
Following up on my last post. It’s been more than a month, but apparently the new firmware update is coming out on Monday for the IRX and IRD.
I’ve heard that it will include MIDI CC, improved power amp modeling, LPF, new editor / software, etc.
Just saw on the Facebook Friedman IR-X User Group that the firmware update with CC control is about a month away.
There is the new IR-D that just came out today. I would imagine that they’ll add (the same?) CC control for that as well.
I’m assuming you’re referring to the RJM team (not me)? I don’t mind answering questions, but they’re way better at the tech support thing than I am. I’m just a simple dude who plays guitar and uses RJM gear. :)
The CS manual says you need to send a PC message from your controller first, then save your preset on the CS. Have you tried that approach?
The CS is a great unit, I used it for a few years, but sold it when I changed my setup. I never saved presets on it or used PCs to control it from my MMLT...
The IR-X currently uses PC messages only. Supposedly the next update is going to add CCs, but I’m not sure what the timeline is for that to be rolled out.
I think the IR-X should be added to the device list after the new update comes out. I don’t think there’s much point in adding it right now...
Hi Ron,
I have someone who is interested in purchasing my Mastermind LT and the question of warranty came up. Is there a way that the warranty could be transferred to the new owner? I know that was an option with some of the other RJM products previously. Cheers.
