Program change (again)

bosone · Post by **bosone** » Sat Apr 21, 2001 8:08 am

Excuse me, but i cannot change the program in the pulsar synth....
i open the preset list, give a number to a patch and then, when i try to recall it by a program change (form my external keyboard or by cakewalk), nothing happens.
i also see the midi data coming on the light of the device, but, again, nothing!

the manual doesn't say anything about this topic

WHAT MUST I DO!?!?!?

Save the device first....

i did!!
the very strange thing is that, if i open the modular, i see in the MIDI window (the one that show the incoming messages): PRGR CHANGE !!!!
so the message arrives, but it not interpreted!!!
!?!?!?!?

Did you cable the sequencer midi out to your pulsar synth or just your master keyboard?

i tried both: the pulsar midi in (physical one) to the synth for trying to change with the masterkeyboard, and the midi source(software one) when i tried to change the bank from the sequencer.
i have pulsar ver. 2.04 is there some bug? i mailed alo to CW, and i'm waiting the answer!

Pulsar synths don't reliably respond to program changes. The STSx000 samplers do though!

hmm...if I use the original synths by creamware, they do! It takes just a lot of time until the setting has been changed. By the way which sequencer are you using? Sometimes Logic doesn´t correspond with the synths so you´ve to change the environment from logic to your needs. However within Cakewalk all the p-changes worked without configurations except from assigning the program changes in the pulsar synths.

BTW: i sent also a mail to CW asking for help, but they didn't anwser yet
