Hi Everybody,

Im trying to expand my live performance options by using an external Fantom-XR rack synth unit with my VG connecting from the VG's 5-pin out. Though I'm able to switch patches of the synth in performance mode just fine using MSB/LSB commands from the VG in the GUITAR-to-MIDI pane which are saved to the patch, the switch is too abrupt for live shows.

I thought that maybe I could arrange the patches in performance mode (which allows for up to 16 patches simultaneously), however consulting the XR manual I'm at a loss to find the CC that will mute parts on/off. Am I missing something, or do I need to explore using MIDI strings? When I use the Roland XR editor I can see the MIDI messgae string changing when I mute a part, but i figure there must be some way to control that from the VG somehow. I also have an FC-300, perhaps there is a way to do it from there in SYSEX mode?

I appreciate any help! Thanks so much.
