Hi @gabrielsmarcello ,

I thought we worked on this a few years ago. See this post.

What is new about this request?

It is the assignment
with midi translotor pro to protools and vs roland vs 1680
for the recordings buttons to be assigned for recording one by one
from protools to vs roland 1680 and vice versa. Example when I press the red button on the roland vs 1680 protools recording button also becomes red, ready for recording and vice versa.
Thank you Steve Caldwell

Ah, I think I get it now. Let me check into it.

Thank you Steve Caldwell.

You can give this a try.

From the manual it looks like the format of your SysEX should be this:

F0 41 ID 00 0E 12 02 00 tr val chksum F7

Zone is fader number 0-7
Port for Record/Rdy is 7

I can’t test with Pro-Tools because I don’t have a license but it seems to work OK on Cubase but Cubase only support the first HUI device.

Hi, I’m not sure what you are asking. Exactly what is not working and which project file are you working with? Were you merging an earlier project file (faders), with the record arm project file I sent you last?

Yes. Hello, but the HUI of the file of the rec arm file that works on cubase
in Protools it doesn’t work the HUI doesn’t work.
Some time the rec arm file project light up on protools and on the VS 1680 roland and some times it doesn’t.
Also the Yes stands for how to put the file of the 13 faders together with the last file you answered me which is the re arm file on the forum.
Please help
rememeber that the HUI of the rec arm file doesn’t work.
Thank you Steve Caldwell.

I’m still not understanding what is and is not working.

If you push the Rec Arm on VS1680, does the ProTools Rec Arm button always light up?

If you click Rec Arm on track one on Pro Tools does the vs1680 Rec arm button light up?

Please open the Log window in Bome MT Pro and select input and press rec arm on track one of your vs1680 so I can see what it is sending?

Interesting. Your 1680 doesn’t seem to be sending any System Exclusive messages. Is there a menu setting on your vs1680 to enable/disable System Exclusive?

Also you showed 3 midi messages but I expected 2

1- When you push a button
2- When you release a button.

Can you correspond to those MIDI messages what you did for each MIDI input activity?

Steve

In the owners manual page 194 and 195. It explains how to turn on SysEX messages. Please do this and then push your rec/arm button again.

On Page 195 set the device ID to 1, and set the SysEX.Tx switch to On.

Do the same For SysEX.Rx on page 196.

Make sure MIDI Thru is NOT selected.

In the project file I last posted. Set up rules in translators 1.0 and 1.1 as follows:

where it says
// oo is id
oo=0

Change it to say
// oo is id
oo=1

Then it should work.

You can download the manual from the Roland site.
