TG77 editor - how to ?

Question

Great system, really looking forward to get inside my TG77 - but there is one small problem...

I have setup my iPad mini with a network session for MIDI and chose the direct routing to the midi interfaces that my TG77 are connected to.

I made a page change of all controls to the corresponding MIDI channel of the TG77.

I can detect sysex coming in from iPad on the network session and I also get sysex coming in from tg77 via the mid interface. Somehow the units are not communicating. What am I doing wrong ?

Hi there and thanks for your question. So... how are you routing from the tg77 back to the iPad? I don't know, BTW, if the editor is actually bidirectional. I'll go ask the author right now.

Answer 1

You said you made a page change for the channel (using "Renumber Controls" I guess?). Because there are "channel" bytes in most controls, but they are not being used for MIDI Channel selection, but for Element selection - just a different position in the sysex string.

Changing the channel is not possible in the layout, unless you change each and every control manually - quite tedious work to do. Please try and set your TG77 receive channel to either "1" or to "omni". Does that help?

And yes, the layout works bidirectional. All controls are set to "MIDI receive", means they will respond to changes being made in the TG77.

Thanks for getting back - I will try this next time i get in the studio ! I had my channel set to 12 and haven't tried to change it.

I should have mentioned the channel number in the description. It's a kind of shortcoming that channel adjustment is not possible, but it was the only way to address the elements, except copying the controls 3 more times- too many controls and also not enough banks available
