robmagnuss Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hi there! Confession up front - I'm a MIDI newbie. I'm trying to get my iPad (Onsong app) to fire off MIDI commands to my PX-560M to change the following based upon the song I pull up: Tone (Upper/Lower 1&2) Split Point Levels I know the MIDI connection is working fine but the tone change command doesn't seem to do anything to the keyboard. Here's the steps that lead to the problem: 1. Set Onsong to Listen for MIDI commands 2. Change tone on keyboard --> Corresponding command shows up in Onsong (so it definitely receives ok) 3. Turn off MIDI "Listen" in order to do a Test 4. Manually change Tone to something elese on keyboard 5. Click "Test" in Onsong (which fires the same command back to the keyboard) --> Result: Nothing happens. When I do the same process, but with Playing a note as the command, the test is successful and Onsong is able to play the note back through the keyboard. So I know the communication is fine. That means the problem must be around the other commands that don't seem to work when Onsong fires them off to the keyboard. Does the PX-560M support what I'm trying to do (in theory)? Are there any troubleshooting tools on the PX-560M to see what MIDI messages it's receiving? Am I missing some setting or something to allow these settings to be changed remotely via MIDI? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 First of all set the Midi in port to "A" then from Onsong you can send program changes to channels 1 - 4 to set the two upper & two lower Casio tones. for example channel 2, program 1, MSB 5,LSB None = upper 2 -dance piano1 I am not sure if you can turn on/off split points and set levels. I use imidipatchbay instead of onsong to control tones, split points & levels. I use Onsong to send midi program changes to imidipatchbay to select the song settings that I have configured. I recommend that approach. Please read that topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
