OnSong and MIDI volume CC format [SOLVED]

Hi All,
Could someone please tell me what the MIDI command format is for setting the volume per song via OnSong to the Beat Buddy?

I thought
CC108:50
where CC108 is the control change message for volume
and 50 in this case would be 50% of volume.

Any help is appreciated!!!

Do you have it enabled in the pedal settings?

I am already doing MIDI commands to change songs via:
MIDI: 0.9:2 (or whatever)

Point being, is there another MIDI option I need to enable for CC messages???

Thanks!

Okay I figured my problem out…
The format for OnSong to adjust a songs volume via MIDI is:
CC108:50
There should be NO space after the colon (which is what I actually had)!!!
So just for a FYI
CC108:XX <-this is the control change message to adjust volume and the XX represents the percent of volume level.

I feel better now :slight_smile:

I have recently run into this exact problem with no resolution. This command has worked for years with over 900 songs in my Onsong library and now it is not functioning. Not sure if it’s beat buddy or onsong??? Anybody know???

What version of the BB and OnSong are you using?

BB (I have 2 of these) is 4.1.6 and Onsong is 2023.8.5

Okay, I am of no help, my OnSong version is from 2020. I don’t upgrade to the subscription based one because I bought the MIDI support prior to the subscription change and I am grandfathered in.

You should be able to load a MIDI monitor app to see if the volume command is leaving your ipad / iphone. That way you can at least narrow down the problem.

Have you recently updated anything?

Everything actually :)). always a moving target. I’ve not used a midi monitor. I’ll go look for something like that.
