I have Rocktron Piranha tube pre-amp and TC electronics G-sharp FX
processor. The g-sharp is connected to the loop of Piranha. I also have ART
x-15 ultrafoot midi controller and it is connected to the Midi in of
Piranha. The TC is a slave of piranha.
Problem: When I try to change programs with a Midi controller, the input of
the Tc goes clipping. Even without the midi controller, when I store or
load a program with Piranha , the input of TC starts clipping. The problem
does not occure when the Midi cable is unplugged between Rocktron and TC.
If connected the other way - The Midi controller goes to the Midi in of
TC. And Rocktron is a slave of TC, then I can change programs only by
loading a preset from the TC by hand. If I use the foot controller, then TC
changes a program and rocktron doesn't
So either way I can't use my rig properly. Can anyone give some advise?

9/18/2006 at 14:10Sounds to me you might have a bad midi cable
9/18/2006 at 15:19Thanks for the advise
The midi cable was OK. I changed the Midi channels of both units and now it
works fine.
But still I have a problem with delay spillover feature. Now working on
this...
9/18/2006 at 15:26yeah if the channels are not the same they won't talk to each other. I
haven't used a midi setup in years. You can do alot with it but I like the
vintage way of things these day.
