How can I send program changes from the conductor?

[La Tenaille]

Hello,
I'd like the conductor to send its preset numbers as program changes, in order to remote an external effect thru my fireface 400. How can I do that?
Thanks

in the Conductor module there is an important outlet:
num : the number of the current conductor line.

you can, in your patch, try something like

if the NUM has changed ---> create a MIDI msg PROGRAM_CHANGE

I hope it will help.

Salut Olivier

I've just done this "simple" wiring (took me an hour to understand the way "create midi" works!):

It seems to work when I go forward in the conductor, but backward it has a strange behaviour (forwarding one more step, then backwarding with the wrong numbers).

Where is my mistake?

strange , just done the same patch and it's work fine here ( V3.68f ), the only difference for me was to use only one midi channel , if you select " all channel " you send the program change 16 time , one for each channel...( but even this way , the patch works fine...???)

Hello nay-seven,
I think I've found the trouble:
when I changed the conductor presets randomly, I noticed that the program change message sent was decayed. My deduction was the conductor recall pin message arrived "too late" to the create pin.
So I've put a "wait one cycle" between recall and create: it worked sometimes, randomly... so I've chained a second "wait one cycle" (custom made "wait 2 cycles" ) and now it seems to work fine!!

Hello,
Well, my solution does not work properly...
The presets don't change everytime, and sometimes the wrong way.
I've tried to change the conductor number, and then clic manually on the create button, and it works. Do you have an idea to solve my problem? I'm quite frustrated!
Thanks

I think you have to put a "wait one cycle" module between both "recall" and "create", AND "num" and "code1" .

I hope this can help you.

Edit: My advice is probably wrong because code 1 is set before the create message in your patch, so it should work. Sorry.

Try this ( like senso said), put an HAS CHANGED module between NUM and Create. Disconnect the recall wire. It should work.

Hi Moody33,
Great, tested today and this time it works!
Thanks a lot
