Shout out to Peter at Synergy!
He suggested I switch dip switch S3 to the left to turn off midi cc commands. I can now set the Syn-2 in Omni mode and am able to switch channels and use the looper on my helix. Still not sure why single select midi channels don’t work at all but one thing at a time.
Also, it's really hard to tell on my syn-2 exactly what midi channel I'm on. The switch doesn't exactly line up with the numbers on the dial. channel 1 could be 16, etc. I did try all combinations though. This is most likely the answer to this problem but I cannot get the individual midi...
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately, what you saw me doing in the video was program changes. The problem is the looper sends out cc changes no matter what. I also tried dedicated cc changes while trying to see if there was a cc to stop the looper from doing what it’s doing but no luck. Haven’t...
That’s the thing. I know about the switch. I can only get the Syn-2 to respond to midi when it’s set to Omni. Nothing works with any of the channels when the switch is set to select. This would solve my problem.
I also just checked the dip switch positions and those were already correct.
I'm having the same issue with the big helix and the syn-2. It's definitely a midi issue. The helix looper is somehow sending a midi command that makes the syn-2 change to bypass mode. It's driving me crazy and I haven't found anyone that can figure this out.
Since the Syn-1 doesn't have midi to switch the channels, can the footswitch jack be used with something like the Boss ES-5 or ES-8 to switch channels? They have CTL output jacks for amp channel switching. Has anyone tried this?
Does the Syn 50 need a cab connected in order for the cab sim out to work? I haven’t found any info on this and ended up buying the head to use the cab sim out for certain applications but can only get it to work with a cab connected. Defeats the purpose for me so I’m thinking of sending it back...
Hi all
Just got the Syn 50 amp with a couple of Friedman modules. Sick stuff!
I’m having trouble getting the channels to switch with midi via a boss ms-3. The included footswitch works but I’m not going to be using that to avoid tap dancing.
Anyone know how to make this work? I’ve tried what...
