Hi PJ

 

Thanks for the extra tutorial help.

I sort of figured out the problem. (I think)

After pressing BLUE DESIGN button in the MIDI Designer Pro 2...I did NOT lead me to the Sonogenic Effects, Voice, Voice edit page.

This leads me to believe that my iPad blue tooth is not connected to the Sonogenic.

In the MIDImittr screen....it says it is. But the MIDI designer pro 2 says it isn't.

 

I am getting CLOSE....very close!!!

Hi PJ...

 

Thanks so much for your kind reply.

 

I have downloaded midmittr as well as MIDI Designer Pro2 to my ipad air 3.

Adjusted my Sonogenic 500 to Midi select BLE MIDI.

All devices are connected in sync.

I turned on the MIDI Designer Pro2. (Pretty colors) lol

Tutorial (red)....Browse (yellow)...Connect (green)...Design (blue)...Play (purple).

In the design mode.......There are A LOT of draw-bars, knobs, buttons. NONE of which make any sense.

I am looking for ANY button, knob, bar, that indicates a sound. But its all in code.

(Its like YAMAHA doesn't want me to change anything)

Sorry...but this might as well be in Chinese.

Thanks anyway for all your help. It have been most appreciated.
