Midi controlling strymon big sky

We are promised at least program changes via the KPA's MIDI out in FW 3.0. Hopefully, there will be richer functionality than that, as you'd want clock, too.

i am on the point at buying a Big Sky , i'm also on the list for the k.remote due delivery at the end of april... Now own a GCP and that one is sending out MIDI commands that should work with the Big Sky but.. it's one of my big concerns if it will work with the k. remote eg. will there be a possibility to send MIDI signals when changing a rig, so the Big Sky will change a patch too..

With 3.0:

Transmitting MIDI Commands in Performance Mode
MIDI commands can be triggered and transmitted to up to two external devices, whenever a Slot is loaded in Performance Mode. Select “MIDI Settings” on page “Slot Settings” and select the MIDI program change numbers associated with Slots of current Performance. In System menu, navigate to page “Perform Mode: MIDI”, and use soft knobs 1 and 2 to assign a MIDI channel to each of the external devices. Use soft buttons 1 and 2 to determine whether the corresponding external devices are connected to MIDI OUT or MIDI THRU.  As soon as you select MIDI THRU to transmit MIDI commands by Slot the Profiler will stop forwarding incoming MIDI data to MIDI THRU. For your convenience you could also assign logical names to those two external devices.

can you still send a Midi pc number to the KPA and have it send info to remote and send out pc to another connected device????

Yes Incoming MIDI (set to the same MIDI channel as the KPA) will change the Performance Slot in the KPA/Remote.

The Performance Slot can be programmed send PC changes to one or two external devices.

Thanks Paul, This is what I was waiting to hear now I'm relly gonna be jonesing for the next 2 1/2 weeks till my remote findly gets to me here in Michigan. Paul

You're welcome!

If you aren't using Performance Mode yet, use the next couple of weeks to get things configured

Yeah I have a gig Sat. night then plan on going to 3.0 and start loading performance mode. Someone 2 order numbers away from me got thewre shipping email 3 hrs ago , so hopefully mine will ship early

Thanks Paults i receved my Big Sky, going to try it tonight at home.. Am i getting this right, this is only works for performance mode?

Correct.

Leading on from this - is it possible to have only the post stomps affected by changes in performance mode? So if I locked the distortion section and just wanted my 5 slots to be different mod/reverb delay settings (using the loop and midi control) to my damage control glass nexus - is that realistic?

Of course! This is absolutely possible.

Sounds good to me I will have to experiment with this setup.

pfff.. have to wait for my KPR then due at the end of April.. performance mode with the GCP is horrible

Thank you! I will be giving this a try tomorrow.

...but... if you make a rig with the strymon in, and then, for the next show, you move the performance, your strymon's patchs must be done again because, you can't edit the midi map of the strymon's pedals.

Nothing would need to be changed on the Strymon. If you move the Performance Slot, the Slot will still send the same programmed MIDI channel and program change to the Strymon.
