triggering rm1x form pc1600x

[Chris]

Hi   I`ve been trying to trigger the rm1x sections A thru P externally from my pc1600x midi controller buttons 1 thru 16.   The system exclusive to do this is listed in the list book page 18 under section control.   It reads as follows   F0        Exclusive status 43        Yamaha ID 7E        Style 00        Section control ss        Section dd        On/Off F7        End of Exclusive   It also states that ss=08H - 0FH. Correct me if I`m wrong but this is only 8 different hex values and therefore cannot address 16 different sections.   Again it states that:- dd=on is received, and the pattern will be changed to the RM1X`s sections A - P respectively. So what is hex for on then?   Interestingly, I tried to use the pc1600x`s learn mode to capture the midi data from the RM1x as I switched sections but despite the RM`s midi out lamp blinking to signal a midi output (maybe it wasnt sysex), the pc1600x did not slurp up anything.   Why am I trying to do this? Well I want to trigger the RM1x`s sections from my V-Drums Kit so I can play along live and switch sections in real time using the rims of cymbal pads etc. The PC1600x will allow its buttons to be remotely activated using note numbers which I can assign to my pads, so when I hit it, the drum brain should spit out a pre programmed note number to activate the relevant button on the PC1600x which should in turn spit out the relevant sysex to switch to a specific pattern. This would be great for live stuff if I could only get it to work.   Any help would be greatly appreciated   Many Thanks   Chris
