My experience dictates the following best practice:
- Don’t include note data on a cell which provides cc or pc info
- For consistent behavior with on, off and toggle type controls: Vertically stack two cells. The top sends cc data 0; the second data 127. (or more rarely 127 to 0)
- Skip at least one cell before sending Note Data. Remember to clear CC and PC when sending Note Data.
- Yamaha “Packed Data Format” is tricky. The following technique works for the Yamaha VL70-m:
All the following is included in the first cell:
No note data
Program change number
cc#0 = 127;
cc#32 = 0 for preset bank 1
cc#32 = 1 for preset bank 2
cc#32 = 2 for preset bank Custom
cc#32 = 3 for preset bank Internal
Then skip at least one cell before placing note data.
