For Those With Problems Changing Banks In Logic - Alesis Andromeda A6 Tips And Tricks Manual

•
Now set MODE to RANDOM. While holding a note, each time you tap the ribbon, a random
stage from the sequencer will fire.
•
The ADVANCE MODE is supposed to advance the sequencer one stage per Trigger, but it
doesn't appear to work in this OS. It -is- useful for Triggering notes as in the above RANDOM
example, but without changing the note's actual pitch. Set the Ribbon to HOLD if you get
bouncing.
•
Try the ADVANCE and RANDOM tricks with Keyboard Mode set to Poly. Play a chord and then
tap the Ribbon.

I've got to contradict you there! Rob is correct. Program and Bank changes are working fine in MIX
mode. Just do the following:
•
select USER MIX 127 ?Multitimbral Mix (a good starting point for sequencer work)
•
make sure you have the following GLOBAL/MIDI parameters set properly:
•
MIXSEL=OFF (this will avoid program changes to change mixes)
•
PRGSEL=ON
•
BNKSEL=CC 0
In Logic (or any other sequencing software), enable program select and mix select and chose
"Control 0" for bank change messages in the environment (or instrument settings).
It's working just as it should, bank 0 is USER, bank 1 is PRESET 1, bank 2 is PRESET 2, bank 3 is
the first card bank, and so on.
If you want to change whole MIXES via MIDI, while still be able to switch programs within the MIX,
you need to specify one MIDI channel to be the MIX select channel. Of course, you cannot change
programs within the mix on that channel anymore. Maybe it makes sense to turn program change
OFF for that mix channel.
