I have a MIDI Maestro to control my BeatBuddy drum pedal, and it works as expected.
I use an iPad with Bandhelper connected to the MM with BTLE, changing song presets to choose tempo, drumset, etc. This seems to be working fine.
I have a Tonex pedal and a TC Helicon Voicelive 3 Extreme, daisy chained with MIDI Thru from the Tonex pedal (the VL3X seems to be fine). iPad>MM>BB>Tonex>VL3X, each with its own MIDI channel.
When I select a different part for the BeatBuddy, either on the MM or the BB pedal, it turns off the current Tonex preset, changing the green LED to yellow. As is, I can switch to a different preset with the switches on the Tonex and then switch back, but it essentially mutes my guitar when I switch the BB to a different part. I have seen a few other reports here that this is an ongoing problem.
My initial troubleshooting shows that Control Change 113 is supposed to be used by MM to switch pages. The Tonex supposedly uses CC113 to switch microphone models per-preset, but it needs CC12 to do what it is actually doing according to IK Multimedia's manual (Preset on or off).
The trouble is that I can see by using MIDI Ox to monitor MIDI messages, when I change parts on MM or BB, it is sending CC71 (which is supposed to switch Reverb Time on TONEX)(I'm a little dizzy at this point).
It's probably time for me to create a ticket, but:
-Does anyone have any experience with controlling a Tonex pedal with a MM and BB before it?
-Can anyone confirm MIDI CC that will turn presets on and off other than the specified CC12?
