Control Switcher doesn't work, what's up?

Post by torj93 »

Hi. I just wired the Control Switcher into my Switcher/Commander set up and now everything's acting weird.

I'm going Guitar > Lehle P-Split >

Switcher A > Amp A
and
Switcher B > Amp B

Midi signal is Commander Midi Out > Switcher A In, Out to > Switcher B In, Out to > Control Switcher In, Out to > Commander Midi In

The Control Switcher is only running one thing, and that is the channel Switch port on my Orange Rocker 30.

Now the Commander won't save programs, sometimes it randomly turns on every Switcher loop, and sometimes all the lights on the Control Switcher flash together.

The Commander won't remember anything settings on the Control Switcher.

Any ideas?

Also, now the first button on the Commander no longer works.

Will the Commander control each switcher separately? Connect the Commander directly to each switcher for testing purposes to find if any one of them is acting up or if there is simply a bad MIDI cable in the bunch.

Also, how are you powering the switchers? For testing try using the supplied adapters to eliminate incorrect power option as a possibility.

Every component seems to be acting strange, regardless of the configuration, power source, or MIDI cable I'm using. I've tried 3 different Switchers, the Control Switcher and the Commander in every possible combination.
