Hey, Kevin. It sounds like PC + CC1 + CC2 are sent in very quick succession (2+3+3 bytes = a few mS + any overhead). And yes – from reading that ES-8 classic Boss-style manual – it is either-or with a Push or a Release action, unlike the Morningstars. The ES-8 appears to be a full-featured device, but I don’t have one here to test. So these are speculative solutions that may / may not contribute:
Expanding on my suggestion above. Don’t use the Patch level Ctl 1-2 parameters. Just send the PC, and use the Assign parameters to (theoretically) delay any subsequent CC messages.
Assign
- Src -> INT
- Cate -> MIDI
- Target -> CC
- Min Max -> probably to the same value?
- Ch -> 8
- CC# -> appropriate CC number
- Trig -> PAT
- Tim -> vary this delay value 1-100 to find the ‘sweet spot’ for recognizing the CC
- Crv -> FST, maybe LIN
Target List
- When Cate is set to MIDI – appropriate CC value
If all else fails, you may be able to substitute E.CTL for the CC value(s). Boss EXP 1,2 to H90 EXP1 and/or EXP2. It’ll cost you one more TRS cable.
