Problem:
The MPE doesn’t receive MIDI program change
commands.
Troubleshooting:
1. Is the MIDI cable plugged in correctly? The
MIDI Out of the transmitting device should be
connected to the MIDI IN of the MPE. MIDI
cables should not exceed 50 feet in length. If your
cable is longer than this, try a shorter one.
2. Is the transmitting device properly configured to
transmit MIDI program change commands?
Verify that the MPE is receiving these messages.
3. Is the MPE set to the correct MIDI channel?
Both the transmitting device and the MPE must
be set for the same MIDI channel, or the receiv-
ing MPE should be in Omni mode (see the
detailed operating instructions for details on how
to enable Omni mode).
4. Is the MIDI map redirecting the received program
change command to a different internal Stored
Memory?
Problem:
The MPE doesn’t send MIDI program change
commands.
Troubleshooting:
1. Is the MIDI cable connected properly? The MIDI
OUT of the MPE should be hooked to the MIDI
IN of the receiving device. MIDI cables should
not exceed 50 feet in length. If your cable is
longer than this, try a shorter one.
2. Is the Program Change Output option enabled?
The MPE must be told to output MIDI program
change commands. Consult the detailed operating
instructions for details.
3. Is the MPE set to the correct MIDI channel?
Both the MPE and the receiving device must be
set for the same MIDI channel, or the receiver
should be in Omni mode.
4. Is the receiving device properly configured to
receive MIDI program change commands? Some
devices allow you to disable MIDI program
change reception, verify that your device is
properly enabled.
Problem:
The MPE doesn’t communicate with another MPE
via MIDI SYSEX.
Troubleshooting:
1. Verify that both units are set to the same device
ID (or at least one of them to the ALL ID) and
that they are on the same MIDI channel (or the
receiving MPE is in Omni mode).
2. Are your MIDI cables hooked up? Check that the
MIDI Out of the transmitter connects to the MIDI
In of the receiver. Make sure your cables are not
over 50 feet in length.
3. Are the desired SYSEX options enabled? To
transmit key scan messages you must enable the
Key Scan Echo option. To transmit parameter
message you must enable the Parameter Echo
option. See the detailed operating instructions for
details.
