No Sysex transmitted via iPad->macbook->RME Fireface->Synth (?)

Question

Hi Guys,

my setup is as following: i use mac os x and the MIDI-Network to connect my iPad as a MIDI-Controller. The MIDI is then sent from my RME Fireface 400 to the Synth.

What im trying is, to control my Roland MKS 50 with this software and this template here http://mididesigner.com/community/midi-controller-roland-jx-3p-8p-mks-30-mks-50/. But unfortunately i had no luck yet. The "Keys" are playing and i also can use the program-change-command to switch through the programms ... so something IS transmitted. But when i try to control VCF, VCA etc. nothing happens.

Any idea whats wrong? Any hints?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Fab

It would be really odd if the RME were filtering sysex. Can you think of ANY way to test? You could connect out to in, perhaps?

More than likely, though, it's some channel setting or something that you're missing for the layout... or your synth. I'll ping Rainer, the creator, to see if he can chime in (Europe, so tomorrow, or later this week)...

Answer 1

Hi Fab,

Are you running it through a sequencer? Make sure that isn't filtering anything. If you're using Ableton Live, I believe you're out of luck because that sequence does not do Sysex if I'm correct.

Thanks for the hint.

Well - im running it routed through Cubase LE AI Elements 6. I already loaded a SysEx-Sequence-file for the original presets into cubase and dumped that to my MKS 50 which worked fine.

But of course i don't know if SysEx is filtered when ROUTING the MIDI Signal on a blank channel. Any idea where to look for that setting?
