Just got a receptor - spent several fun hours getting remote and uniwire to work last night - grrr.

Wondering if anyone here uses the B4D mididraw bar controller to control B4II? Does it work with Receptor?

The chapter on the non supported midi messages really scared me.

Im kinda in the same boat as you, im not great with midi and cc and the like. I bought a B4D a few weeks ago, tried it and found that the preset buttons on the B4D were screwing around changing the patches on my Receptor. All the functions work, draws, vibrato, click etc etc, just don't accidentley hit a preset button on it. It may work fine with someone who knows more about midi than me. Plus I tried it on OS 1.4 on Receptor. It may be a different story now with 1.5 and enhanced midi function. All in all I just have'nt got round to using it because I can't situate it anywhere in my room, it's too big to sit on the controller keyboards and Im using the CME UF7 sliders for drawbars.

From what I understand, the NI USB controllers (B4II and Guitar Rig 2) are not working at the moment, but I could be wrong.

B4D is a midi only controller.

I just read another topic that says only one usb device can operate on Receptor at once. WTF?

OK, I can't tell you about B4D, but my Voce drawbar rig works just fine via midi. The axiom 61 has drawbars and goes in the USB port, and it also works fine.

Now understand - I am not working the Muse way, I have set bank select off and route to Source, also send CCs to source plug. Thenall my controller info goes directly to the plug without dealing with NRPNs and the like.

I ill eventually give that methodology a try, but this does what I need (except I just lost my patch changes on some, but not all, synths, see my new post.)

I've had the same experience as you - the drawbars work as do the rotary speaker controls, but the preset switches lock the Receptor up. If anyone has figured a workaround, I'd love to know it.
