SPD SX controlling cuelist

Post by rizlfrizl »

Im having trouble understanding why im Roland SPD SX wont toggle through the cuelist. I am able to map midi notes using the"learn" button under settings/externalcontrol/midi. I am able to see the note information populate as i hit different notes. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Ive spent some time looking into the issue and have discovered the following:

Midi signal is reaching freestyler with channel and note number and 0 velocity.

and midi commands occur (change the cue list) when i hit the pads very very hard....

is there a way to lower the threshold for this trigger?? I dont want to blast these pads every time i want a light change

download Freestyler Configuration tool. Set velocity to one and point at root Freestyler folder location. Everything now works perfectly.

we are wanting to use complete backing tracks with spd-sx... we are also wanting to control different light cues within each backing track using note on/off... is it possible to do this with spd? At the moment, we are using an ipad to play backing tracks.. what ipad sequencer should i use to playback tracks AND midi notes to trigger freestyler cues to my pc?
