I've been asked the question for uni

[Tallicalad]

“Phil’s got this pedal board – like, an old guitar pedal board, with 8 different switches on. He says he thinks it is used to change effects on a stomp-box or something. It has MIDI outputs on it. Anyway, he wants to be able to play his guitar and use this thing to fire loops, samples, sound effects and stuff. Problem is, when he plugs the MIDI into our drummer’s MPC, all it does is change the preset. Seems a shame to chuck it out – how can we make it trigger samples?”

First week of uni, had this question. I literally have no idea...

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

H

The floorboard probably only sends program change info and not midi notes? Trick question?!! I'm really stoned right now but that's all I could think of.

The real answer is for Phil to consult the manual for both the MPC and Pedalboard.

yes!

it may also have something to do with changing the midi channel(s) on either device.
