    Hi,
    the V256 is my first “pedal” and I got it working and I’m already experimenting with it. I like it so far :).

    However, I didn’t get my midi keyboard to work with the V256.

    XLR-Input: my microphone
    MIDI: the keyboard connected via normal midi cable
    XLR-Output: xlr-cable connected to my speakers

    It’s all working despite when I play a chord the vocoded voice doesn’t change at all.

    I “studied” the documentation but it only says that I can use a midi keyboard but not exactly how.

    The thing is that the midi keyboard doesn’t generate any sounds but only sends notes via midi. I tried the midi keyboard with garageband and it plays all notes just like on a real keyboard :).

    I still got my old technics keyboard but I bought a smaller midi keyboard because I don’t have too much space available and setting up my technics every day … neeh…sucks…

    So do you have any advice for me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Andreas Schipplock.

    the v256 communicates on midi channel 16. the manual really isn’t clear about that.

    Does anyone have a recommendation on a good, compact keyboard to use for midi control with this pedal? I’m wanting to get something that I can use live as well as in the home, and really don’t care about a ton of extra features as this will strictly be used for controlling the V256.

    thanks
    D
