I have looked through the midi settings for Pa4X and there is nothing obvious to me, except of course the Control Channel.

Whilst this is not an ideal solution, try this as a debugging experiment (ie try using Ch1 instead of Ch 16 as the Control Channel). It shouldn’t make any difference, but you never know -

- Connect the UD-BT01 only to your Pa4x
- Reboot iPad, startup Songbook+ and only connect Bluetooth to the UD device
- Change control channel to Ch1 on the Pa4X and in Songbook+
- Obviously disable any other use of Ch1 setting in the Pa4X midi settings such as for a voice

I changed to Ch1 as per your suggestions with only the UD connected, but no difference.
I then disconnected the UD and fired up the MD, still using Channel 1 setting as you suggested on the iPad and Songbook+ , and the PA4x responded and worked fine.
So changing to Channel 1 produced the same result as Ch 16.
UD- not working and MD - worked.

Rosco,

If you cannot solve your problem, read on -

You have not actually said what the endgame is, but I am inferring that you want to be able to use the PA300 standalone (in addition to the Pa4X) whilst using Songbook+ to pop all the settings on the PA300 automatically? And maybe change settings on the PA300 mid-song.

Is that the aim, there ‘may’ be another way of doing it?

Phil

I did have an instant where the Quicco mi.1 did not communicate this week while using it at home. Found out there was a bad wire connection to the midi in/out.
So in the case of the ud-bt01, I would change out the usb cable. Even try the new current usb cable to see if it connects the pa to the computer. I had a friend whom contacted me awhile back and as we went through the troubleshoot, found the usb cable was defective.
Just to correct the settings in the edit portion of a SongbookPlus pdf, all you need to do is put in songbook number, all other switches off.

Hi Guys,
Just back home after 3 weeks away.. it was supposed to be 52 weeks but COVID has shut all the caravan parks in Oz.
I just updated my software to 3.1.0 and I thought I would have another go at getting the UD-BT01 to connect to the PA4x.
Unfortunately no luck.
Is their anyone using the UD-BT01 who can run me through how they connect to the iPad? As I mentioned I have been using the MD-BT01 on my PA4x for the past two years and it works fine.
I can connect them both to the PA4x and the MD (midi IN/OUT) works and the UD (USB to host)doesn't. I turn the connection on for each via the Songbook+ app on the iPad.
Very strange that MD works and the UD doesn't
Any help appreciated.

Hi Rosco,

it´s definitvely a problem of the UD-BT Device. But not of yours, it´s in general.

I tried it 4 ? years ago on my Ketron Audya 5, it didn´t work as well.

The MD-BT worked fine, so it does on my PA4X.

It must be a wrong protocol and / or power problem that can´t be solved.

Thanks Snoopy. At least I know it is not something I am doing.
