Slave sid patch doesn´t change

Testing/Troubleshooting
1

A bit sid problems again…

I´ve made a 2nd core and Sid modul an a simple control surface but i´ve got a small problem. When i change the preset patch is only the master that changes patch, the slave stays on the other patch

I do get sound from the 2nd sid when i enable the sid and the link. Im also able to edit the sound parameteres with the control surface.  but cant change the preset patch…

Im probaly missing something simple, any ideas?

thanks alot

Hi js,

how do you change the patch? (there are several ways: from the main page, from the CFG menu, via patch change, via SysEx…)

Treied both  from the main menu and from NI´s B4 software via program change.

Edit: If it´s any help, I´ve just tried with the bankstick on the slave and changed patches via B4 and now the slave can change patches, it doesn´t change through the main menu..

Thats strange. Maybe the MIDI channel of your slave is out-of-sync to the control surface. How does it react when you change the MIDI channel of the slave from the CFG menu?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

The slave keeps playing after i´ve changes the channel the master stops. There´s no change i switching the patches from here.

Another reason could be that an “empty” bank is selected for the slave SID - in this case you will hear the default patch.

Does the master send a SysEx dump when you change the patch for SID2?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

As for as I can see in midiox the master does send a sysex block when i change the patch. I´ve also tried reinstalling the sid software on both the master en the slave, bu still no luck.

Ok, now i´ve found the problem:

I missed to program the slave ID I thougt that that was done by choosing the right siD-.syx file. I couldn´t get the file uploadet but worked fine after i´ve used the change ID app.

Thanks again  TK for this nice instrument, and always beeing helpful.

I’m very happy that you found the reason, I was about to include some debug code into the source code :slight_smile:

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Thanks alot for caring, and im glad that I found the problem before before I caused more trouble than nessary :slight_smile:

I just uploaded a few pictures if you like to see the wonder :slight_smile:

my first sid is in the c64 case and the 2nd in the box with the controlepamel. The last pictures shows the box and the build the sids into. I´ve already midified the keys. So now it´s just putting the things together and make it look nice :slight_smile:

(underneath the keys is my midified organ (a nice toy) :slight_smile:
