Hi I could finally lay hands on a FC300 controller...
Now I would like to use the FC300's CTL to switch on GR55's CTL
I found this sysex:
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 11 01 56 F7 = CTL on
F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 11 00 57 F7 = CTL off
but all that really does is switch the CTL's status - the led goes on... but it doesn't really take care of all the assignments that are controlled by the CTL and should be switched on within the GR55.. Is there any way of doing that with just the one FC300 CTL button?
Do I need another sysex statement for that?

Another question - the GR55 does not seem to respond to CC 07 from the FC300 EXP pedal?
Do I have to assign it to an other CC???

I hope someone can help me out
cheers

This is not possible unfortunately. You can access all the parameters that the CTL switch controls through sysex, but not the switch itself. You will have to send a cc message and use an assign to control parameters on the GR-55.

It should work. Make sure the midi channels match on both ends. It may help to use a different cc. CC7 may be used when guitar-to-midi is switched on.

:-( too bad... but it looks so promising when using that sysex does light up the GR55's CTL led...

hmm strange about the volume then - wil have a good look, thanks..

I found these codes do work partly. If you set the assignment of CTR itself to AMP SW, the amp does switch on and off.

CTL ON: F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 11 01 56 F7

CTL OFF: F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 11 00 57 F7

EXP SW ON: F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 4D 01 1A F7

EXP SW OFF: F0 41 10 00 00 53 12 18 00 00 4D 00 1B F7

The codes look the same? But anyway I will give it a try and otherwise I will have to make 2 sets of sounds - one that responds to CC values straight away that I can use with FC300 and one set that responds to just the CTL that I can use in a 'non-FC300' situation :-)
Thanks for getting back to me anyway!!

They are the same. I had recently come across them, whilst updating the VController code. They did work on some occasions. Your post triggered me to test more. Direct assignments under CTL do work. Assignments made in the eight general control assignment with CTL as trigger do not work.

creart

Ah right - I had not tested that far yet myself... thanks! Too bad the assignment don't work - as said I'll make separate sets then - the cases where I assigned the CTL to stuff will have to be reassigned to direct midi CCs.... ah well...

At the moment I'm working on trying to make an FC300 editor, which would make life simpler as well

cheers Hans

The lack of an editor is about the only thing keeping me from picking up an FC-300.

I'll keep you guys informed how  I proceed :-)
