Ground control/ GCX with TC G-system (again)
Posted: Tue Jan 28, 2020 2:47 am
Old question, News on solutions?
Made the mistake of buying a TC G-System to utilize its FX-unit rack mounted and ditch the heavy floor board (except for setting up effects). When trying to integrate it with my rig I realise I'm not able to reach my user presets, just as everyone elso who walked into this trap (due to a STUPID MIDI patch- layout in the TC-System which won't let you assigne desired MIDI-input per user patch)
Stuck in the MIDI Bank Select-trap having to send CC# + PC# from my Ground control which only does PC#.
Preferably, I would like to use the Ground control as stage floor board.
My questions are:
1. Is there any update available yet to the Ground control to have it send CC# + PC#?
2. Does anyone know of any 3'rd part unit which can be programed to convert PC# to CC# + PC#? Example- When recieving MIDI PC# 11 -> Send MIDI CC#1 + PC#11?
3. IF I have to use the G-systems heavy floor board and which to use it to loop switch the GCX, I've understood the current-pins in the MIDI cable has to be disconnected to not burn the G-System. Is there a clear discription somewhere of which pins to disconnect? Additionally, this should be done at the calble? Right?
Hope there is a way to work around not having to use dual floor bords and not have to sell my recently purchased G-System and buy something else..
