Re: All Access/Echoplex/Prophesy

I knew he was wrong, but how do you tell the tech support guy that?...and still get help.   Plus, at that point, I couldn't prove it.

Anyway, the confusing part for me was that I had checked all the CC information, and nothing was being sent in this manner.    Turns out, however, that the Rocktron guy was partially right.   All the Midi information from Virtual buttons is sent whenever a new preset button is pressed IF the Instant Access Switches are set to Momentary or Latching.   Mine where set to Momentary, which I had assumed to be best.   Anyway   it was a problem with my switch settings on the All Access    I changed the switches from Momentary to "hold" which makes the switches act as momentary, but doesn't send Midi information when I change a patch.   Exactly what I needed. Problem solved!

Thanks again to all who helped on and off list,
