I just got a Rolls MidiBuddy and my RJM Amp Gizmo doesn't seem to be recognizing it.
My chain *was* Nobels MF2 foot controller with 5-pin cable (set to ch1) > RJM (set to ch1) > G-Maj (Set to OMNI). Worked fine, but since the MF2 would freeze on me at times, I'm trying to replace it with the Rolls.
So now it's Rolls > foot controller with 5-pin cable (set to ch1) > RJM (set to ch1) > G-Maj (Set to OMNI).
What's happening is that the RJM isn't recongnizing the midi commands from the Rolls - and therefore not changing the channels on my roadster. But the RJM is passing the commands (via the through jack) on to my g-maj, and my g-maj is responding correctly.
I used the DIN switches on the Rolls to try other Midi channels (ch 1, ch 16), and switched the midi channels on the RJM and G-Maj appropriately. Same symptoms - the g-maj recognizes the commands, the RJM is unresponsive.
Both the RJM and the Rolls could use a 7-pin midi cable.... but is that mandatory? I thought the 6th and 7th pin were for Phantom power functions only, and would have no effect on data transmission? Can somebody confirm this before I drop some money on a 7-pin cable?
Or is it possible that I just got a bad Rolls (which would be weird b/c the g-maj doesn't think so), or the Rolls and RJM are not compatible (which would be weird b/c isn't Midi a universal concept?)?
