Hi there,
Having a confusing issue with the Strymon Iridium and the RJM PBC6X
I have the Iridium connected to a Disaster Area Midibox4 via MIDI TRS and I set up the Iridium to EXP to Digital Mode, MIDI channel 4-16, then I believe I sent it a CC message from MIDI channel 5, so it should be on MIDI channel 5.
I went and made 3 presets on slots 0 (Round), 1 (Chime) and 2 (Punch). They’re assigned to 3 different presets on the PBC. I go through those 3 presets and all is good. (The 0 preset shows up as a RED FAV led, and then 1 and 2 show up as ORANGE FAV led - not sure if that means anything or not).
I have the PBC presets sending PC messages to the Iridium via the quick shortcut available in the PBC Editor, so 0,1 and 2. Those all work fine.
The problem is this: Whenever I create a new preset, or go through a different preset I’ve made and select shortcut Iridium PC message of 0, 1 or 2 - they’re not the same preset as what is recalled from earlier. I’ve set all their gain to be low and then somehow the Punch is cranked, even though I’m sending it the identical PC msg of 2.
I love the Iridium, but it’s kind of a nightmare to manage because you can’t tell whether your MIDI channel is accurately set, or what presets are really in which slots, or really anything that’s happening.
I’m quite confused on what’s going on here, and if anybody has any insight, would be a huge help to tame the frustration.
Thanks!
