I've managed to send MIDI messages from my controller keyboard to switch between banks on the Rack (using Bank Map info, page 109 of Parameter Guide). However, I don't know how to send a message to switch from PROG to COMBI, so I have to do this manually on the Rack - not so great in a live performance! Can it be done via MIDI?

Many thanks.

Hi,

Yes it is possible - it is a sysex message which will change from prog to combi mode and another to return to program mode. It is documented in the midi spec for the triton/rack.

Cheers

Stuart

Thanks for reply. It's encouraging to know it can be done - but I'm afraid my MIDI knowledge is sadly lacking. Are you able to expand any further e.g. what sort of message am I looking to send from my master keyboard (a Kawai MP4) and what numbers do I need to transmit to change between Prog/Comb/Multi banks? For instance, I've got as far as sending External Bank # MSB LSB to select a particular bank, and then External Prog # to select a voice within that bank. What I can't do is send an initial message to change from Prog to Comb.

Sysex messages for Triton-Rack Mode changes are as follows:

Combi:
F0 42 30 50 4E 00 F7

Prog:
F0 42 30 50 4E 02 F7

Multi:
F0 42 30 50 4E 04 F7

Sampling:
F0 42 30 50 4E 06 F7

Global:
F0 42 30 50 4E 07 F7

Disk:
F0 42 30 50 4E 08 F7

For Combis and Programs, follow these with bank and program select numbers. For Multis, follow with song selects (if you have multiple Multis already set up).

Kind regards.

Many thanks for your response, but unfortunately I haven't been able to implement the advice you gave me. I'm driving the Triton through a Kawai MP4 Stage Piano and, although I've been able to send Bank and Program change messages, there doesn't seem to be anywhere I can enter the sort of codes you sent me.
Any further advice or work arounds (other than manually press the COMBI/PROG buttons, which I'm sure to forget in a live performance!!).

I did try saving some PROGs as single voice COMBIs (so that everything I needed would be in COMBI banks), but sometimes the voices (PROGs) seems to change quite a bit - for the worse - when I do that. Must be some hidden settings in the COMBI I don't know about!

Many thanks,

Keith

Does the Kawai not have a software editor? I'm not familiar with it. If your keyboard controller doesn't support this, then you're out of luck, I'm afraid.

Kind regards.

I know the person who posted this probably isn't around any more, but for anyone else who's having the problem of Combis sounding different to Programs, it's probably just a simple case of copying the effects from the program to the combi.
