Roland SPD-SX with AR [was: Prog change problems]

[nicholasowen85]

Hi, I was doing a bit of reading into similar threads…but couldn’t quite find the answer.

I am trying to control CC parameters on Rytm using pads on a Roland SPD-SX. The SPD is connected via midi into the in port on Rytm.

PROG CH RECEIVE turned on in sync settings

In port settings INPUT FROM set to MIDI & RECEIVE NOTES + RECEIVE CC/NRPN set to on

In channel menu, PROG CH IN CH set to 16

Now on my SPD when I set the channel to 16 and midi note to 94 (which according to the manual is CC value for mute function) nothing happens.

What am I missing…? I apologise if this has been answered elsewhere & have spent quite a bit of time trying…

Many thanks…

MIDI Note messages are not the same as MIDI Control Change messages. I imagine that the SPD sends MIDI notes (so you can trigger the AR’s sounds) but not MIDI CCs.

Edit to add link:

Using External Drum Pads as Trigger for AR

What is the best (and easiest to setup) PADS for triggering RYTM sounds? (Having some trouble doing rolls and things. Would love bigger PADS like Akai.) I want abolutley nothing fancy. Just a clone of the Pads on my AR but external and close to zero latency. For sounds 1-12 only.
