Yamaha FC-5 foot switch to change patches?

Trying to help a buddy (he's at a different theatre and I'm not in front of the equipment right now). He has a Yamaha MOX8 and has the FC-5 foot switch plugged into the Assignable Foot Switch jack. It works perfectly for changing patches when just using the keyboard. He'd like to use it to change patches when connected to MS 3, but MS isn't even recognizing it (nothing lights up in the program).
Is there something that needs to be changed in the keyboard so that the switch data is sent to MS? Any other ideas?
Thank you so much in advance!

Do you see the keyboard MOX in the window in the screen control inspector in layout mode? Then pedal won't respond until it's assigned to a hardware input. See below.

Assigning foot switch in mainstage

Hi there - I'm using the damper pedal on my midi keyboard to change patches in a set.
Problem is, because it's a damper pedal and not a 'foot switch' it changes TWO patches each time (one when pressed, and one when released).
Does anyone know how to stop it from doing that????
Ben

Most damper pedals send CC#64 0 through 63 for off (pedal release), and CC#64 64 through 127 on (pedal pressed). So you want your controller to just respond to 64 - 127. In Edit mode, select the controller you are editing, look in the Inspector. You should see a selection for the Graph. Select it and adjust it (I think you would be dragging the lower left corner to the center of the bottom axis) so that the output starts where you want it, and ends at 127. You'll need to play around with it to get it perfect. See if that works.

Logidy Foot Switch issue

I am using a Logidy UMI3 foot switch to advance patches in Mainstage. It is sending a signal to play E3 on the keyboard but not advancing. Same set-up works on other Macs. Is there a setting in Mainstage I am missing?

If he has a MIDI keyboard then a simple sustain pedal will do, if not, he'll need a standalone MIDI switch, in that segment you should probably look at the FCB1010 by behringer. A second hand 25-key controller plus a 'normal' sustain pedal might be cheaper though.

Volume pedal and foot switch for the Keystation 61es

Hello!
Is there a way to add a volume pedal and a foot switch (for patch changes) to the Keystation 61es (using a MacBook with MainStage 2)?
I know that the software will be able to recognize the pedals, but there are no ports on the Keystation for them. I was hoping that there might be a USB MIDI interface for pedals, or a volume/foot switch USB MIDI pedal.
Thanks!

Yeah, I don't play piano parts on the 88es. Have and bring 88-key weighted hammer action for that. Turns out the extra keys on the 88es aren't just for notes that are heard. Key switching presets in EVB3, or switching from legato mode to poly... You can use those extra keys for all kinds of stuff, including patch up/down... That's the power of MainStage... If the song is really busy, there's more keys to map out different zones to...
I compensate for the lack of knobs and switches, and not having aftertouch either by having a novation remote sl61 mk2 in the live rig, no shortage of knobs, sliders after that!
So, my live rig consists of 3 controllers, plus the FCB...
The FCB1010 is cool, replaced three volume pedals and three sustains pedals with it. Replaced the standard ROM with the UNO chip, some gotchas in this as well, but so far with a little thinking and creative reassigning in MainStage and it all works. No USB MIDI on the thing, so I had to try several USB <> MIDI interfaces until I found one that worked that also supported external programming of the thing... But... I use it and it works, is heavy, stays put and I don't have to "chase" pedals moving around on the floor while I play!
Still amazed that m-audio thought there was any benefit to saving one input jack on that back panel, would have thought it was more economical to have the same assemble in both the 61 and the 88, with the only difference being number of keys...
Hope this all helps, ping if you have any questions!

Changing patches on an external keyboard in the middle of a track

I just figured out how to switch banks and patches on my external keyboard, which is a Kawai MP8II, from within Logic Pro. I would like to know if it is possible to switch patches in the middle of a track. How do I send a system control message that would accomplish this?

I presume by 'system control' you mean a sysex (system exclusive) message which isn't really necessary at all.
If you want the patch to change, locate the position where you want it to change, press 'pause' and then hit the record button. If you make the change to the program number while its in record mode, then turn off record, even though the transport hasn't moved, the change has been recorded.
Hope that's what you mean!

Mainstage is changing patches randomly

I have not changed anything about my set up but lately Mainstage is acting wierd. While playing any patch it will suddenly randomly switch to another patch.
Sometimes I've just sat there not touching anything and watched it switch patches. Is this a bug or a ghost in the machine ?
Should I just re-install it ? HELP !

Hi
Yep... disconnect any external controllers to see if the problem goes away, then re-connect one at a time.
You could also use a "MIDI Monitor" application (or Logic if you have it) to record/monitor the MIDI output of your controllers to track down where the problem is.

Should the screen show when the ringer switch is changed?

My ringer is not working on my 4S with 7. Should the screen show when the mute switch is changed from on to off and back? I believe it did before.

But is not now. and my ringer is intermittent.

Momentary punch in/out foot switch help needed

Hi all,
I'm looking to find a usb keyboard or device that i can use with LOGIC 9 to plug in a momentary punch in/out foot switch.
I have an M-Audio Oxygen 61 - but I can't tell if it has the input or not?
Thanks in advance

I might approach it like this..... Open your template song. In the environment, create a new transformer and check the box next to the icon in the inspector so that it shows up as a possible arrange track. Double click the transformer to open it and program it to transform sus pedal (cc#64 I think...) to some other unused controller. Select the transformer track in the arrange page, open your key commands and set the transformed cc data to the record toggle (delete the original sus pedal setting from the controller list). Save the template song with this transformer and arrangement with the transformer track in it. Now when you build a new song from the template, you can select the transformer track when you want to use the pedal for record toggle, and select the appropriate instrument's track when you want the sus pedal.
There are probably other (better?) ways of doing this.. one of the best things about logic..... Perhaps some one else will offer up a simpler way. It might just be easier to open KC window and delete the sus/rec. toggle setting when you don't need it and just reprogram it when you do.....

I want to change patches on my Kurzweil PC1se with Mainstage.

I want to change patches on my Kurzweil PC1se with Mainstage. I'm using an Maudio Uno to run from MIDI in and out on my PC1se to my Macbook pro running Mavericks and Mainstage 3.
Example: Patch 1 is the Organ on my PC1se (Bank 1/Patch 0) and Patch 2 is the Piano on my PC1se (Bank 1/Patch 80)
When I select Patch 2 in Mainstage I want my PC1se to go to my piano sound.
I just can't figure out how to do this. Any suggestions?

I own some Kurzweils, but not the PC1. I downloaded and looked through the manual, and I think you may want to give MIDI Receive Mode a try.
Also--in Mainstage--are you using External Instrument channel strips for the Kurz?
Hope this helps.

Sound is hanging when changing patch.

Hello.
The problem is that if i am pressing the sustain pedal while im changing a patch, the last notes in the previous patch stays on. it doesent goes of untill i hit the space bar or panic button.
Help.
Could it be that i need to configurw some All notes off when changing patch? Not an idel solution but that would be better than to end upp with a hang in a live situation.

Im not expessing my self corectly.
The way i want it to work is as you describe it. The note from the selected patch sustaind untill the pedal is released. Thats the way my master keyboard (Roland A80) works.
But the problem is that it newer STOPS sustaining ( after patch change, and pedal release).
Im using a New MBP, New Motu midinterface and a Clavia Stage88 keyboard.
If MS comes with the sustain feature (and thats what i want), i will check my pedal (polarity?) delet the old pedal and make a new. mayby something whent wrong whan i created the pedal.
Does that sound like a good plan?

USB Foot Switch

Hello,
Recently I have written an interface to some laser control. The interface include some boolean buttons such as on \ off switch.
I want to control one of these buttons via a mechanical switch rather than a mouse a click - For this I have a cheap Foot Pedal FS1_P.
All I want is when pressed - to send true or false into my exising interface.
When I connect it to my computer Windows 7 automatically installed it. I install the software that comes with it and it works - I need to set the keyboard key I want the pedal to be and initilize it - and I can write with the pedal in notepad.
I don't have a clue however on how to interface it with LabView.
I've tried to follow this tutrial but completly got lost. In my device manage I see USB-composite device, in MAX I don't see any USB device - not even my Logiteh mouse.
Can someone help?

Two points. First, what the earlier replies are saying is that if you set up your Foot Switch to produce a unique identifying message, then you can (in principle) use LabVIEW to see if any key on the keyboard has been pressed, and if so, see if it is part of your message. One "nice" way to do this is to make the message a single key combination you otherwise never use, such as Ctrl-Shift-A -- if you see this, then it's from the pedal, otherwise ignore it.
The other point is that LabVIEW might be able to directly read from the specified "Keyboard/Mouse", i.e. you might actually be able to see a "Mouse Down" event. I discovered, while trying to ask "Can I attach a Joystick to LabVIEW?", that there are some Input Devices functions that can work with Joysticks, Keyboards, and Mice. For Joysticks, it actually goes out and obtains the names of all of the Joystick-looking devices it finds, and you can then "attach" to whichever one you want. It also gives the names of the Keyboard and Mouse devices, and because it returns an array of these, I thought that you could "choose" which Keyboard or Mouse (assuming you have more than one) to use. However, to my disappointment, the Initialize Keyboard and Initialize Mouse function (unlike Initialize Joystick) do not have a place for you to specify the Device Index and return a specific Keyboard or Mouse reference, so maybe this is not possible. It is worth an experiment, however, to see if Query Input Devices returns multiple Mouse and/or Keyboard entries on your system when the Foot Pedal is attached. If so, we can lobby NI to let us use Device Index to choose which one we want to use.

Switching off changes tracking

Hi gurus,
I need to temporarily switch off the tracking when creating sales document with BAPI_ADMGMTSO_CREATEFROMDATA.
At the present time, whenever I create a new document, it is always tracked the creation of the document (see "display changes" for the object RJHAK in JHA1N).
I need to switch off this tracking in migration phase and switch it on later.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Friend,
You can de-activate change document update my choosing following via customizing.
in SPRO SAP Media->Advertising Management->Sales->Order->Client-Specific Settings->Control Order Update.
Double click on initiator "Order Update" and select option "Inact ch doc".
Hope this info is helpful.

DST ends?Already was.I again do not understand what "Already was" means. I expect after 1:59, the time to be printed as 1:00 am.
Am I missing some thing?
BTW my previous post had a problem. To test DST I set the time by running:
date 031101592007.57
For end of DST I set the command:
date 110401592007.57

Issue during Me53N -- switch to change mode

Hi Experts,
I use MEREQ001 to add new fields on the customer tab.
I check during the process the fields and set to required and input a.s.o.
f.e.
If sy-tcode eq ME52N or ME51N.
        IF screen-name EQ 'CI_EBANDB-ZZ_ABTL'.
          screen-input = 1.
          screen-required = 1.
        ENDIF.
Works fine except one issue.
The user starts tc me53n and click on the pencil to switch from display in change mode.
The problem now is that sy-tcode is still ME53N and I don´t if there is a field which know that I´m now in change mode.
Try to find something in SYST but I´m not sure.
These two field are changing the value during the process.
sy-modno
sy-oncom
what field should I use? Or is there a field I can use instead?
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Alex

Footer Isn't Changing Color

Hi, I am trying to change the color of the footer bar to #333 but when I added color: #33333; to the code it didn't change the color. Can someone please look at the page in Firebug and tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks.
1. Web Page: http://www.buzzfx.ca/2d_character.html
2. I selected the Footer Bar. <div id="footer">
3. Then in the right CSS panel I added: color: #333333;
4. Why does the footer not change color to? #333333;
(Below is the original code with the change I made in "Blue")
#footer { border-top: 1px solid #E5E5E5; }
#footer { clear: both;
    color: #333333;
    margin-top: 20px;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding-top: 20px;

Perfect John, thanks.
1. I want to make the footer wider and taller too. How would I add (width:960px;) to do this?
#footer {border-top: 1px solid #E5E5E5;
#footer {clear: both;
    width: 960px;
    background-color: #333;
    margin-top: 20px;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding-top: 20px;
2. What do (clear: both;) and (overflow: hidden;) do?
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
