Program Change / Bank Select script

Hi,

I am trying to make an Program Change/Bank Select script for Yamaha FB01 which is rather tedious to operate with just +/- buttons.

My problem is how to change the program banks (I have a slider in the Environment that sends the bank select sysex command to choose one of the 7 sound banks ... unfortunately Yamaha FB01 does not accept the MIDI cc 0 Bank MSB)

I have made "Bank Select" menu that sends Bank MSB command, but I don't know if it is possible to route the Scripter output to Environment object (slider).

The Script below:

// Bank selector

var BSL = ["USER 1", "USER 2", "ROM 1", "ROM 2", "ROM 3", "ROM 4", "ROM 5"];


// 1-48 ROM1 Bank

its not possible to route scripter output through the environment unless you send it out over IAC and back into LogicPro again, then hit the environment there.

Scripter can also not send sysex.

The FB01 won't respond to normal bank messages?

Hi,

FB01 does not respond to bank messages (unfortunately it is not the only synth that works this way). It is a pity that the sysex is not supported (there would be great possibilities for sysex use - the Environment is mighty weapon, but little bit outdated way of doing things)

The IAC way may be a solution. How would you suggest to modify the script and the entire routing to the Environment object?

Thank you

Tom

Thanks

You might be better off doing the entire thing in the environment.

If you want to route from scripter to the environment, then basically you put scripter on a channel strip with external instrument as the instrument. Choose and IAC midi device. All IAC devices are fed back into LogicPro. So then you have to open the environment and isolate that particular IAC device port on its own cable where you can add SysEx. You could for example, have scripter generate maybe a CC message of some kind and then in the environment use that CC message to determine how to construct the SysEx message. Wire that environment circuit up to the Midi instrument object that pertains to your FB01, and it should all be working.

As to how to transform a CC message into SysEx, I don't know enough about the environment to comment bout that, but there are some real environment gurus on this forum, ask in the main LogicPro subforum.

the Environment is mighty weapon, but little bit outdated way of doing things

It's funny when you say that while sitting on an FB01 which is from, wait...1986 or so ?

Anyway, did you look into the Environment's Multi-Instruments with their Custom Bank Messages, which is an outdated way of doing things with outdated gear ? After setting up, this lets you select sounds by bank- and name-menus, from the Main Window.

Hi,

The IAC works great. I made the bank select fader in the environment, linked to the midi cc from scripter. The program menu select is now sending both program change and the cc.

Is there a way to send the commands to a various midi channels? I might use the synths in multi mode.

Tom

Hi, not sure if this is still helpful but I figured out how to do the bank changes easily in Logic Pro X using SysEx data with custom bank messages.

It's fairly easy if you know what to do.

You need the SysEx data for a bank change of the FB-01 which is F0 43 75 01 18 04 xx F7 (xx = 00 to 06 for the seven banks in the FB-01). (I have to say that this is thanks to the monitor function in the FB-01 plugin of Midiquest). Otherwise I wouldn't know what the bank change Sysex data for the FB-01 would have been.

Then convert this Hex Code into Decimals: 240 67 117 1 24 4 x 247 (x = 0 to 6)

Then go to "Define custom bank messages" in the Midi Environment of the Multi-Instrument (FB-01).

Delete all Control Bank messages.

Add a SysEx message. Paste the above decimal code. (the final 247 gets converted into EOX automatically).

Lather, rinse, repeat for all banks.

Done.

At the end it should look like this:
