OK, ye olde midi gurus.
I take a song, no notes in the Soloist. I set the soloist to ch 5 Midi. My Midi 5 is set on the voicelive, and chords are going out as triads on Midi 5 at volume 1. What you see below is what I get from the Midi Monitor. I stuck the 32 in after the count in and 2 bar lead, which shows as Event 30, and that puts the voicelive where I want it, at preset 32 which is 3 harmonies above. Fine. Below is Event 30 that I inserted using F5 at the bar I wanted a harmony changed and it worked, although I get preset 32 as I mentioned.
30 9212 1 C4 1F Program Change ($Cx) 5 Program = 31
However somewhere in the mix, on each verse there is a Program change to 109 and that sends the box to patch 99 (the highest one), which is a distorted voice and I don't want it. But if select the soloist track where I put the Program change to 31 which gives 32, push the = sign at the bar to display what is on the track is blank. Nada there. That's odd in itself. Following line 30 I'll post the first few bars of midi stuff, why is all that stuff there? Remember I have the chords as triads set to go out on 5 so the notes I'd expect to see. I have the volume on them set to 1, going to set the to zero later, because for some reason I can hear faint chords playing on the clicks before the 1st bar....
