Midi HEX CC numbers for footswitches

Quad Cortex
1

Dear Cortexers,

I’m trying to kind of automatize my setup.
I got an iPad with ForScore that has our songs and settings and I’m trying to get it to select my presets and scenes / stomps.

I was brilliant enough :wink: to make it work for the preset selection. That was easy enough since ForScore had a kind of template for PC messages.

But now I’m a bit stuck with selecting stomps or scenes.
Manual says I need to send CC#35 for footswitch A.
Unfortunately, ForScore has no template for CCs, but asks me to input the MIDI Hex Codes. I tried with some info on the web and I’m now sending B1 35 00, but nothing moves on footswitch A.

Can any of you Midi gurus tell me which hex code I need to send?

Many many thanks!

Andy

Not a 100% sure, but I guess you have to convert the other values to hex numbers too.
35 in decimal is 23 in hex
So that would be

B1 23 00

B1: CC mesage on channel 1
23: The hex representation of 35
00: The control value 00-7F for 0-127

If you need to send a specific value you can use a decimal to hex converter like this for example:

Yesssss, that did the trick!
Thank you so much, you made my day!

And if others should have similar issues, it seems that B0 is channel 1 in fact.

So B0 23 00 activates footswitch A

B0 2B 00 activates scene A
