#Mesa boogie midi matrix manual
I don't know why CC messages weren't working properly using the pre configuration setup per the manual the first time, but it's working now after going through the setup again with the below method.ġ. Ok, crisis over and it's working correctly now. I tried your method, but are you doing the 4th button as an IA cycle by turning on CC 111, then next step turning 111-113 off? I need to know what CC# or combo would work. If I can get the IA cycle to work for channel 4 somehow, I would be a happy camper.

Also, in this mode, I thought PC changes are also supposed to work, but that doesn't seem to be working either. Well, now when doing "#6 button" and "store" button like you suggested, the CC#'s are working, but when making sure buttons 1,2, and 3 are off which should trigger channel 4 to be on, does not work. Doing this allowed me to do PC changes, but not CC changes. then I select button two for the CC#111-118 like you and the manual state to do for RK and Roadster.
When you follow the quick start guide, it tells you to boot the unit with "#1 button" and "store" button pressed so you enter the "Mesa Pre-configuration mode". Also, when hitting channel 4 in the cycle, I was just basically setting channel 3 in reverse to turn it off for the last step out of 4 steps, and everything turns off on the midi matrix which should tell the roadster to turn on channel 4, but it doesn't work. I can cycle through channels 1-3 for the amp switching, but when enabling channel 1, it turns on the FXloop too. I just tried what you figured out for the RK, but I'm trying to do it via an IA cycle so I can put all the channel switching on one button. This confirms my midi channel setup is working properly, but sending CC messages does not engage any of the switches on the mesa box.īro, this is crazy, it's exactly the issue I'm having right now. Update: I'm able to make PC changes work although it's not something I want to do. I can call Mesa at some point if necessary, but I'm wondering if there's just something silly I'm not doing correctly. I've tried setting some different parameters to troubleshoot, but it's still not working yet.Īccording to the manual, with the setup I have for the amp I'm using, I should be able to send CC messages #111-118 to correspond to the switch buttons 1-8 on the Mesa unit.ĭoes anyone have any experience with the Mesa Midi Matrix yet? I know it's new. I guess the Mesa box does not like the message type it's receiving. I'm pretty sure it's not the midi channel as I'm not new to midi and I understand that basic idea. When pressing a button assigned for channel switching, I see the Mesa device blink red on the store button which according to the manual indicates a midi message was received, but it's either not the correct midi channel or message type. I have the "send PC's" and "Send CC's on preset change" selected for the device. Based on the Mesa manual, I think I should be using bank type "MSB" and set it to 250 presets. I'm using the "generic" manufacturer and "PC/CC Device" for model. I set the midi channel to 16 and made a custom page in the RJM to setup IA buttons to control the channels of the amp. I have the Mesa box working fine for my Roadster when pressing the buttons manually.
I just picked up the Mesa Boogie Midi Matrix so I can control some Mesa amps via midi for my PBC/6X.
