I think I've tried every possible combination. What I would like to happen is for each scene in a preset to send a midi message that will switch to a desired channel on the Synergy SYN-2.
Best results so far: I've added the MIDI block to each scene. I've assigned a PC value in the midi block that corresponds to the scene (value 1, scene 1 etc.). I select the scene and then go thru the procedure on the front panel of the SYN-2 (hold down a button for 3 sec on desired channel). This works. But it only works on one preset. As soon as I move to the next preset to do the same, it overwrites the SYN-2 settings on the previous preset's scenes. So, I've got it to work, but only on one preset.
Other things I've tried: Synergy lists in their manual that you can send CC 56-59 to change the 4 channels on the SYN-2 (but then also says: "When selecting a channel using CC messages, only a message with a CC value of 64 or higher will have any effect."). I've tried this in the midi block and have had no luck. (I've tried on both "number" and "value" to no avail, not sure which one is correct).
I've gone into the settings>midi/remote parameters and toggled Program Change on/off. Channels are all set to Omni.
I'm starting to think this isn't going to work out. Possibly the system that Synergy uses to make it easy to assign channels to a midi controller (select channel on controller, select desired module, hold button for 3 seconds) is making this not work. It's also possible my incomplete knowledge of all things midi is the issue and I'm missing something obvious.
