Re: JamMan MIDI and NEW JamMan MIDI Question

[Cummings <r_t_cummings@csi.com>]

The JamMan tap function is transmitted using program change #1, NOT
simply channel 1. In fact, the JamMan defaults to channel 1 for the
entire MIDI implementation. This can be changed on powering up (see
manual).

Now I pose a question to all you JamMan MIDI experts: Is it possible to
convert MIDI note messages from a MIDI device (drum pads) to MIDI
program change messages? Are there any commercial units available which
can do this?
