Stop B-3X receiving program change messages

Postby stevenm » Sun Nov 21, 2021 3:20 am

Hi, Can't find this in the manual, but I want to stop B-3X receiving program change. I'm using an Arturia Keylab 2 and when I select the buttons I have set to trigger patch changes in MainStage, B-3X is changing the drawbar settings - the presets. I don't want this but can't find any way of disabling it within the software.

Everything else is great but anyone know how I can stop this within the software?

Thanks.

What if you change the Program Change midi channel in settings so that it stops listening to the PC messages?

Changing that doesn't change anything - the drawbars are still changing. :-( Surely there's a box to untick that stops program change messages. Blue3 and VB3ii have this option.

According to the User Manual, B-3X responds to PC message on a specific MIDI channel. So changing it should work. Or, remove the assignments from the list.

But, if none of these work for you, the best thing to do is contact Support, via here. If Searching the FAQs does not help there is a red button link to the Technical Support form, for some one to one investigation and help. Response time aims to be within 2 working days (US (East Coast) Business hours, generally), but in the current circumstances please allow some more time.

And, to help others who run into a similar problem, please let us know what you did to resolve the problem. Please do not quote directly any correspondence from Support, as that may apply only to your particular circumstances and may lead others down the wrong track.

Thank you Darkstar. I'm intrigued to know how to remove the assignment from the list (no idea how to/what list). I'll have a mess with it all and I'll contact support soon if I've no luck. I'll share the solution when I find one. Thank you for your time.

Thank you Darkstar. Sadly after deleting them the drawbars still change when I select patches on my Arturia keyboard. Unbelievable that there isn't simply a box to untick. However, I might have worked out a solution in MainStage. File>Concert Settings>untick the box 'Send unassigned MIDI to all Channel Strips'.

I've no idea how to do this within B-3X however. :-(

Adding to my pressumed solution - it doesn't work! The controllers stop working (like modulation). Contacting support now.
