This should be easy, but I’m stumped. I am trying set the global channel of my unit to Ch 6. In the app, I have set the device to channel 6, sent it to the hardware, but it it’s still transmitting on Channel 1.

What am I missing?

The selection box shows the MIDI device that will be used when dragging the new controls on the the grid (the same counts for the color and MIDI message type underneath).

To check and change the settings, use the tools in the sidebar:

the intended workflow is that you pick the “defaults"“ you want to use and then drag the controls on to the grid.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the prompt reply! I did change the channel for each control, and changed the name to “E1 Mini”. But the unit was still transmitting over Channel 1. However, When I selected the default name “MIDI Device 6” it transmitted on channel 6.

So, my problem is solved, but perhaps this is a bug?

I tried to replicate the issue but I was unable to do so. There is a new version of the editor online now. Could you possibly check if you still get that behaviour there?

Hi Martin - sorry, I realize I never replied. The new editor seems to have fixed this issue. Thanks!
