Hello together.

I´m using MobileSheets Pro for a couple of years and was able to use Midi via USB to set or switch Soundprogramms at Nord Electro 6, Yamaha Motif XS an also with Nord Stage 4.
But now with the Yamaha Montage I´m fighting...  The Samsung Android Tablet seems to detect the Montage (MobileSeets - MIDI shows the 3 Slots of Yamaha Montage). I´ve tried a lot to reach my goal, but still unable to switch the performances at the Yamaha Montage.
Is anyone there, who use MobileSheets on Android with a Yamaha Montage who can support me? It seems I´ve set something wrong on Montage.

Thanks a lot in advance!
Best Regards,
Juergen

Hello Juergen,

Do you have any documentation on the MIDI implementation for the Montage? Does it use patch commands (which are actually just two control change messages followed by a program change) to change the performance? Or does it use something like a system exclusive message?

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike.

Many thanks for your answer!

I´ve tried Patch Select at the Montage (Because Montage shows for each Performance at it´s Info the MIDI Adress in the format "MSB, LSB Bank Select), Value (Program Change)".

Not sure, if the Reference Manual contains the MIDI-Implementation?

When searching for MIDI and Yamaha Montage I´ve found a lot of unhappy guys about MIDI at the Montage, but not a solution for me :-(

Best Regards,

What you want is the data list: https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/ot..._dl_d0.pdf

It looks like the Yamaha supports the "Patch Select" option from MobileSheets (which is a CC with 0, MSB, then a CC with 32, LSB, then a program change with the specified value), but that would just change the active instrument. However, looking at the PDF, it has this: 

Code:

_                                    MSB  LSB    Program No
Performance (Single Part) Preset 1   63   0      0..127 (1..128)
: : : :
Preset 16                            63   15     0..127 (1..128)
User 1                               63   16     0..127 (1..128)
: : : :

: : : :
Preset 16                            63   79     0..127 (1..128)
User 1                               63   80     0..127 (1..128)
: : ::
User 5                               63   84     0..127 (1..128)
Library 1                            63   88     0..127 (1..128)
: : ::
Library 40                           63   127    0..127 (1..128)

You can see this in the document itself on page 180. It basically says you can change the performance if you specify MSB 63, and then change the LSB to match what you want (a single part performance, multi-part or a library). So please give that a try.
