Hi there...
I'm a new K73 owner, I have posted this question on another tread but no answer yet.

1. Has anyone else tried to switch programs/combis/setlists with external midi?

I have tried setting cc96 and cc97 in my midi controller which is working with the Kronos for other functions but it won't change the patches. I also tried a footswitch into the Kronos which i set to data inc, and it worked but still no go with midi.

2. I set the midi cc's for the pads to cc110-cc118 in the global menu and set my midi controller to send that cc with a velocity of 127, I also get nothing. I've tried this in program and combi modes and still get nothing.

I'm hoping there is something I've missed, I have a gig this weekend and am stressing as I cannot get it to do what I need.

One thing I though it may be is my midi routing except functions like sustain and modulation still work.

I have my Kronos going to midi in on my FCB1010 pedal, then midi out/thru from that going to my motif so I can control the motif the Kronos on Midi channel 12. I have the midi thru from motif to Kronos so I can control the Kronos with the FCB1010 pedal. I am using channel 1 to transmit to to the Kronos from the FCB.

Could this routing cause this problem? I have worked out I have a problem with piano phasing due to the routing being sent back into the Kronos in from the Kronos out but this is the only way I could route it to do what I need. I have since ordered a midi merger to get rid of this problem and split the signal from the pedal to both synths I am just wondring if someone knows if this could cause other problems other than the double notes causing phasing?

Thanks in advance,
Scott

HI there....

I think you misunderstoo, but thanks for replying. What I am trying to do is Data Inc and Data Dec, as in mirror what the inc and dec buttons do via external midi so I can switch to the next patch rather than select a patch.

I am using cc 96 and 97 but they do not work via midi for me. It use setlist to send out a actual program bank/patch changes to my motif which works flawlessly.

Can someone confirm that these cc's do just that via external midi?

Regards
Scott
