Hi !

I'd like to send PC from Logic Pro to my FC300 via an UM1 USB Midi interface. The FC 300 is used to switch my Kemper presets but I'd like Logic to do that (it's easier when the soft changes the presets himself)..... Can you tell me which mode I must use on the FC300 to do that and how I can do. I've tried different ways but I can't reach my goal...

The FC300 works well with the Kemper on Standard mode, so I can use the Kemper wha and the volume pedal, it's cool...

Thanks

Why would you not send the program changes directly to the Kemper?  I'm making the assumption it can receive program change data, of course!  :-)

There's no thru port so it may not be possible. You may need a midi merge device.

Sending PC from Logic to the Kemper is possible yes but I also need to use the FC300 for its wha and volume expression pedals...

In fact, in a first time, I'd like to know how Logic can send PC to the FC300 using an Edirol UM1 midi interface...

Do you have a VG99 connected to the FC300? If so send the PC to it.

The FC300 midi implementation chart indicates it only recognizes sysex & active sensing, it's not clear to me from the documentation if you can change the PC with sysex messages - the VG99 clearly does, but it's thru the ethernet cable ...

Thanks, that's what I did, Logic --> VG99 --> Kemper but I can't use the expression pedals to control the Kemper, so I decided to use the VG99 wha instead of the Kemper's... It works quite well so...

If you're going midi out of the VG-99 to the kemper you should be able to use the expression pedals of the FC-300. I do this to contol off board equipment. Use the VG-99 expression pedal assignments in the Kemper.

On the VG99, select 'system' then 'midi' (F6 button) then go to page 7 of the midi parameters which is I think where you set the transmission of control change messages.  Scroll down (F2) until you get to the FC300 parameters and then with the F6 select the controller you want each of the FC pedals and switches to broadcast on.  You'll need to consult the Kemper manual to find out which controllers to assign stuff to ...


Hope this helps
