GCX and Commander

Post by ZerkL »

Hello all...

I justo bought a GCX rack on ebay, and I´m wondering if it can be controlled by a MIDI controller other than voodoolab´s Ground Control Pro (I´m new to this MIDI stuff). I´m thinking a Behringer FCB-1010, or even a Voodoo lab Commander.

Thanx.

The GCX responds to Control Change messages 80-87 on MIDI channel 16. A MIDI controller will need to send all 8 Control Change messages at once in order to fully automate the switching.

The Commander will not control the GCX.

The FCB1010 can control the GCX in a limited manner. I believe it is limited to only sending 2 Control Change messages per preset.
