I don't think this is currently possible, but a (hopefully minor) change that would be amazing would be the ability to either set the pedal to take instrument OR MIDI note simultaneously (ideal), or to switch between using instrument or MIDI in with an NRPN. Why? MIDI looping. I'd record the...

I bought a Novation Launch Control XL3 to give me some NRPN knobs to control the FI4. Here's a link to my v1 (but working) template. Obviously the FI4 has more controls than the XL3 has knobs, so this layout uses the top row of knobs to cover VCOs 1 & 2, the second row of knobs to control...

Feeling dumb. I can't figure it out. The doc says that there is a program dump that gives file name and, I assume, parameters, but I can't figure out how to request it and I don't see a sysex or midi command to request it. That's covered in the first few paragraphs. My MIDI scope app receives...

Thank you. I have that doc and most of the parameters in my interface use the NRPN. Back to hit the books to understand how that works.

I used Loopy Pro to create an interface for tweaking parameters on the FI4. I couldn't attach it, so here's a Google Drive link - Through midi cc and NRPN it covers nearly everything related to VCOs, VCA, VCF, LFOs. I have not yet integrated the effects. Does anyone know if, when I change a...

This Google Sheet has the output of my work reading the NRPN doc and using a mix of Claude and ChatGPT to compare it with the patch file. Everyone can comment. Feel free to request edit access if needed. I also added my tab with MIDI cc commands (taken from the manual) Testing every field...

On mac, if you go to the folder and highlight all items, you can copy/paste the titles into a text editor or even straight into Google Sheets. Another method - take one of more screenshots of the list of patches, put them into ChatGPT and ask it to turn it into a list that you can copy/paste...

All interfaces except the Lekato connected through my Dell usb c hub. Do modern computers even have USB A still? The lekato is usb c so I went direct but still did not work. It's possible I missed something and figured it out later. I'm just happy that I get to keep the $10 one - ie the...

Interfaces were not even visible in midi preferences menu. I didn't install any drivers. I didn't think I'd have to and their instructions didn't mention any. I assumed they'd be class compliant (and frankly - if they're not, then that's a frustrating limitation). Acknowledging the MIDI...

Just updating everyone on the inexpensive USB/MIDI interfaces that worked between FI4 and Mac. IConnectivity Mio works - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CO5IRSG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This cheap no name cable works - Amazon.com This cheap one does not work - Amazon.com The CME U2MIDI...

Thank you. I just ordered 3 like those to test and will report back to confirm which worked and did not work.

Well I can't get the CME MIDI to USB cable or the CME WIDI Host to work, yet I can use my interface Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Do you think something like the iconnectivity USB MIDI cable/interface would work? Invalid Link Removed Alternatively, maybe one of the higher end CME...

Got mine yesterday. It's awesome! What a great product. Has anyone tested MIDI to USB cables for firmware and patch updates? My main audio interface is setup for use with iPad and, while it works, is a pain to disconnect/reconnect all devices to add the future impact to my laptop to do this. I...

Thanks. Will try this approach first. It would be amazing to be able to do this more seamlessly. I imagine the cool trick playing live where you split the signal between FI4 and dry, then on the summing box have an expression pedal that controls mix. You start with mix of synth at 0 while you...

Ah that's a shame. I don't understand the second sentence. I want to use my bass to trigger midi note creation. The only way to convert bass pitch to midi is through FI4. So I could certainly play through to record midi notes to sequencer, but then the sequencer would only be able to sequence...
