nullinMemberQuote:I’m having a similar issue. My 8 Step works just fine so long as I use the control panel. It does not respond to MIDI commands other than Clock. I’ve run several tests, for example sending a PC on the same channel as several other devices and all the other devices take the command just fine, but the 8 Step does not respond. Actually, it will randomly, and only very occasionally, start flashing the current preset number, but it will not actually load anything, and there appears to be no consistent rhyme or reason as to when this will happen. Most of the time is simply does not respond. Worse for me is that no one (stores) in Phoenix, AZ seems to have one yet – at least that I am aware of – so I cannot easily get hold of another to check that it’s just a fluke with the unit I got from Sweetwater. Any help on this would be great. I love the concept of this box but without the MIDI functions it doesn’t serve my needs. Is there an easy way to swap the one I have for another than is confirmed to respond fully to MIDI? Thanks in advance. Hoping to hear back for you all. -Max
I have the EXACT same problem! And I also got my pedal from Sweetwater as soon as they were in stock. I didn’t notice a problem a first because it syncs to clock perfectly along with my other devices. I noticed the lack of control yesterday. I’ve tried PC changes and CC changes. Occasionally, and seemingly randomly, after sending multiple PC signals in a row (ie stomping the switch) it will flash the current preset number but actually does change to the other preset, but it doesn’t change number. I’m using preset 0 as all sliders down, and preset 1 with sliders 1 and 5 all up to give a pulsing downbeat. Usually, however it does nothing. I also really do need the full MIDI functionality. Is it a bad batch, or are all the 8 Steps like this? I’d also just be up for an easy swap as well. I was going to call on Monday too as I need this resolved. Thanks!
