CK61 and ForeScore

[Keyboardbill]

I just received my CK61 and it is amazing.

 

I use ForeScore on my IPAD for lyrics and playback of backing tracks.

 

Is there a way to bring up a score on ForeScore and send a message to the CK61 to bring up the corresponding LiveSet for that song? Or maybe I should look into bringing up a LiveSet and send a message to ForeScore to bring up the corresponding score.

 

Just trying to minimize the number of steps needed to setup both Forescore and CK61 for a particular song.

 

Any suggestions or advice is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Bill

ForeScore can send Program Change Messages upon selecting a sheet. I don’t now if the LiveSets correspond to PGM Change. The manual should tell it.

You can send other MIDI messages as well, but for anything besides “Song Select” (it’s in the MIDI 1.0 spec) you’ll have to enter the HEX. As ImproKeys said, you’ll have to look at the docs for your device. The Yamaha forums may be helpful for this, as well.

 

For completeness, I’ll add that in Forescore you can insert button(s) that can send MIDI messages anywhere in a score.
