New from MFB-501 pro

I just grabbed a 501 Pro.
Did anyone figure out/corrected the MIDI implementation ? The manual is soooo full of mistakes/weirdness…

I got some of the parameters working via cc control, not all of them. The way the manual lays it out is v confusing

Ok…
I’m so super confused with the 501 Pro. I want to use it as a sound module only.
Hope you don’t mind if I ask a few questions here.

1. Am I right to assume that the 36 first sounds (the three “old” kits, 501-502 and 512) are not editable in any way ?
(edited : in fact, they are ‘presets’ made with the analog engine)

2. In the manual, notes start from 36 but should start from 24 (classic) ?
(edited : who cares)

3. BD-MFB-512 (note 60/48) is missing ?
(edited : now it’s back…)

4. How do you make settings (midi channel, sample assignments, etc…) retained after power off ?
(edited : works after ‘saving the settings’ described in the manual. It seems that set #1 is automatically loaded on startup)

5. Can a sample be assigned/changed via MIDI ?
(edited : via CC#s)

Sorry, I just read the message. By the way, I sold it very soon, it was too frustrating to have such OS issues and having not anymore the company supporting it anymore, even if I got it for cheap.

No probs. Bought the 501 meanwhile, and I use it all the time as a sound module with a custom M4L controller. I think it’s awesome !
