Hi , i'm trying to get my dmoll to work with my 11R fx rack.

I use the 4 cable method so the diezels preamp is in the loop from the 11R , the output of the 11R goes in the power section of the dmoll (fx return from diezel)

midi channel 1 controls the presets while i'm trying to get the diezel to respond to channel 2 midi commands.

so the clean channel should be used on one channel , ch2 and 3 on others , loop always on.

i tried to "program" the dmoll so he listens to ch2 only

thing now is pushing for instance button 4 , switches the clean channel , 4 again scrolls to another channel ?

can someone point me in the right direction ?

used the herbert manual to figure it out

thx

Hook your controller up to the D-Moll (no 11R) only and see if it's consistent. To me it seems you still have the D-Moll in omni mode or something else is sending out commands on channel 2. Try using a different channel for D-Moll in your rig.
 
I agree with slyvren. What midi controller do you use ? If it's a Midimate it happens that this little prick changes itself the channels # for the fun.

Indeed a rocktron midimate. So midi thru from 11 to midi in from diezel

so all midi commands should be learned ...

If no commands are linked to the loop it always stays on :confused:

First of all, I think you've started the wrong way. The Midimate increases by default the PC number on the first PC it sends (Preset 1 : PC1 = 1. Preset 2 : PC1 = 2. Etc.), you can't control that. But you can with the other PC > 2. Because the D-Moll offers less flexibility like a preset number than the 11, I would set the D-Moll on channel 1 and the Eleven on channel 2. This way you can set the D-Moll for each preset without remembering which preset has which channel/config on the amp, and you'll be able to recall presets on the 11 without duplication (example : the same delay on a clean and lead preset).

The good part in this is that except changing the channel number you don't have to change anything o the 11.

I would go this way :

1. Check on the D-Moll and on the 11 that they are correctly set to channel 1 & 2 respectively
2. Check on the Midimate that PC1 sends on channel 1 and PC2 on channel 2, and that the other ones are on OFF (here sometimes I have surprises, the Midimate changes those settings on his own will... Skynet ?)
3. Go to preset 1, on the D-Moll store the setting you want, like clean. On the Midimate go to the setup and set for PC2 any PC controlling your 11, let's say a chorus.
4. Go to preset 2, sets it to the same way, but for example a lead with a delay.

Now, when switching between those 2 presets, all should be fine.

EDIT :

OR.
If you want to keep the current way your 11 is set up, put both the D-Moll and the 11 on channel 1, and no more configuration is needed :thumbsup: You'll just have to set up the D-Moll for each of your preset (clean/crunch/lead, loop, mid-cut).
 
Got it ,

I hooked op the midimate to the dmoll , and realized indeed all is set to ch2

After a factory reset i started again an the midimate

setting midi channel 1 to control patches from te 11R
setting set2 ch x with the programmable patch changes to the channel on the diezel I want ...

all fine now , not clear how to get the midcut activated , in some cases within the same CH2 ?

anyway i can live with this situation allready

ps : the dmoll is great !! thx to the diezel crew :rock:
 
When you store a preset in the D-Moll, you have to save also the Mid Cut status, activated or not (well, I suppose, but I think that's the case with the Herbert if I remember well).
 
When you store presets, the status of every programmable function gets saved everytime.

When you recall presets, the stored status of every programmable function is what gets recalled.

This means that you cannot pick and choose what gets switched when storing/recalling presets. Everything gets switched when recalling presets. Therefore, you must program the status of every channel/function the way you want it to come up when the preset is recalled. This is the way it works on all MIDI gear. When storing presets, you are taking a "snapshot" of the current switch settings. Recalling the preset recalls the snapshot of how the switches were set.
