Newbie issue: unable to successfully load any performances other than default

[bjchapm]

Hello and sorry for such a basic question.

I've installed minidexed on a RPI 4B with a non-I2C display. For now, I'm using buttons to navigate the menus, using this config:

# GPIO Button Navigation
#  Any buttons set to 0 will be ignored
ButtonPinPrev=27
ButtonActionPrev=click
ButtonPinNext=18
ButtonActionNext=click
ButtonPinBack=7
ButtonActionBack=click
ButtonPinSelect=11
ButtonActionSelect=click
ButtonPinHome=11
ButtonActionHome=doubleclick
ButtonPinShortcut=11
# (Shortcut doesn't have an action)

Navigation and selection of items works. I'm using an Arturia Keystep as the controller, connected via USB.

When I boot, the default performance.ini appears to be loaded correctly and my keyboard correctly connects to the synth and generates notes using a slightly spacey synth lead sound, which I assume is coming from the default. Everything appears to work correctly.

When I navigate to the "Performance" menu and load any of the other performances, I get no sound at all. After attempting to load the Concert D performance, I see the following on the display, which makes me think that I've successfully loaded the performance:

 001:002 [L] Load
<Concert D          >

I've tried loading several performances but always get silence. As a further test, I tried saving this performance as the default and then rebooting. I confirmed that the performance.ini file is in fact overwritten. However, after rebooting, I still get silence. I also ran the getsysex.sh script and it correctly populated the sysex/voice folder, but that didn't resolve the issue.

I've searched through the discussions and the wiki and have not found a solution.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for this fantastic project and for any help you can give,

Hi Ben,

Except for the default Performance, all Performances only receive on MIDI channel 1. The default Performance on a fresh system receives on all TGs in Omni mode.
You probably just need to set the MIDI channel on your KeyStep to 1.

Peter,

Thank you so much! That was exactly the issue. Now to explore all of the performances!

Best wishes, Ben
