Hello all

I am experiencing problems getting my Integra to see volume changes from either the iPad editor or the Mac editor and all parts other than 1 and was wondering if any one could tell me what I am doing wrong or have set up incorrectly, please.

The us message lights up. On the integra when I adjust a volume but the actual level doesn't change.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Many thanks.

Upon further investigation, it appears that if you have two parts with the same midi channel assigned, say for example, parts 3 and 6, adjusting the level of part 3 affects both parts, but adjusting the level of part 6 alone has no affect on part sixes volume.

This is not particularly helpful if there isn't a work around of some sort.

This problem of controlling two parts with the same midi channel was already discussed long ago here, probably the thread is hard to find. The ipad app works with simple midi messages, so it is impossible to set different volumes for parts with the same midi channel. Muting individual channels works however.

Thanks specialplant. I did rummage around for some info on the subject as I suspected it was a concern.

Somewhat disappointed as to the system's inflexibility with regards to this. It does sound good though!

In fact using the "crippled" Roland editors it is not possible to control the PARTs Volumes but only the associated MIDI channel Volume (CC 07) instead.

Thanks, that's as I have now realised. I guess we can hope that we get a update to the mac editor. It's annoying as I bought the integra with the assumption that I could tweak part volumes with the iPad in a band rehearsal scenario and save the result rather than doing edits etc in isolation at home.

I will delve further into the topics on here next time I consider buying another piece if Roland gear!

The way I solved the problem you have was by setting several similar StudioSets with different Part/Channel Volumes (tweaked live with the iPad) and then have them saved with those tweaks. So each StudioSet becomes a SCENE.

Thanks PauloF, I was thinking of something along those lines. More tweaking required before I go live with it though!
