Hi there,
I’m having trouble making the second of my two swell expression pedal work.
They are both part of the same MIDI unit.
The ‘Swell’ pedal works as expected, but it is the ‘Solo’ pedal (for use with Salisbury) with which I am having issues.
I use MIDI-OX as a test bed. Both pedals are sending MIDI signals through successfully, and I have adjusted the angle of the potentiometers so that they act in the way they should.
It is something to do with the MIDI signals that are being received which differs between each pedal.
In MIDI-OX’s Input monitor, the ‘Swell’ pedal gives numbers between 50-68 in each particular stage of travel in the ‘CHAN 2’ column. With the ‘Solo’ swell pedal, it only gives the same ‘7C’ reading for each stage, with the only thing changing being the timestamp. This leads me to think that the signals being sent are being received in the wrong format.
The fact that any signals are being received at all proves that nothing electrical is going wrong - HW also picks up the control via Auto-Detect. The pedal does not however open or close the solo box as desired.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Many thanks,
Joseph
