Jackson Audio Bloom MIDI

[Terry Richalds]

I have a Jackson Audio Bloom V2 w/MIDI functionality.
I get the PC commands to switch presets flawlessly.

I have a CC Toggle command programmed to increase and decrease the Bloom gain (CC#5) on my Loops page.
Yesterday it stopped working - I'm not sure what happened.
I've made a couple changes in the Editor but none to the Bloom settings that I can think of.
My file is posted - any suggestions? Thank you!

The best way I've found debug these types of problems is to change the MIDI device in question to "USB Out" in the Devices tab, hook up the PBC to my Mac via USB, then use the program MIDI Monitor on my Mac to look at the MIDI messages the PBC is sending as I hit buttons, change presets, etc. That way you can differentiate problems with the PBC config (sending the wrong MIDI messages or the wrong sequence) from a problem with the target pedal improperly reacting to a correct sequence of MIDI messages.

Thank you! Gave that a shot and everything looks normal on the MIDI Monitor. So that leaves me unsure why the Bloom would perfectly respond to my PC messages but no longer the CC ones. I even set up a separate Page on my PBC to try and troubleshoot it. Any button I set to a CC command does nothing on the Bloom - but perfectly responds to the PC message buttons. I'm lost. Something wrong on my Devices page?

From the Bloom MIDI manual:

CC #4 – midiBoost ON/OFF (value of 127 = ON /value of 0 = OFF)
– midiBoost determines what has control over the boost level; midi or the bloom knob on the pedal.

Maybe this value got changed on the Bloom recently and now it is no longer configured to accept CC messages for boost?

Oh I'm doing CC#5 to control the amount of Gain for the Bloom boost.
Maybe I have to do CC#4 AND CC#5 commands simultaneously? Hmmm

 

[Terry Richalds]

Yeah that did it - I missed that I needed to send CC#4 AND CC#5 commands simultaneously
