Hello

I'm curious how to make your own presets. I'd like to use the 3m as a midi controller for use with a GR55 guitar synth to send midi cc or midi sysx messages. Can any longtime users enlighten me ?

Hello mate, I use the 3m and 3d. As they're class compliant controllers they can both work as standard to send straight midi data to any instrument or host. You don't need any middleware unless you want to create more complex setups. Just map them. If you do want to create something more complex youll need a MIDI translator. The appallingly named DaRouter software that ships with the SCS3 is based on Bomes MT Pro which i can recommend as I use it but its not free. MIDIOX or other free options can do similar. Thats all I can say without more details. Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

So far no luck, mainly because I just don't understand the 3M. Plugging the 3M USB port (host)into the GR55 does nothing, I'm guessing simply because I'm not sending the right MIDI CC data. Preferably I'd use the unit standalone, without a 'translator' per se.I'll have to figure out how to 'program' the 3M to send something the GR55 understands. Too bad the old forums are gone, usually there is something to be learned from others mis/fortune

The 3m sends data on MIDI ch1. If I can't get hold of either the output map or the MIDI Implementation chart from anyone I'll just make one and post links.

In the absence of any form of satisfactory support from official channels I have decided to gather as much information as possible and make easily and freely available to all. If anyone has any data, documentation or info they wish to add just get in touch and if anyone else has a problem with my plan then they're more than welcome to go away and cry about it.

More soon.....

Hi doombadger, I know this is an old thread, but was wondering (if you are still around) if you had any progress with this? I got a SCS3m the other day and was annoyed to see that there were NO presets for it in 'da router' for generic midi mapping...only presets for various SCS3d set-ups. Considering it was advertised as being easily adapted for mapping/use in Ableton I was hoping to see some Ableton presets as well... But...seems like Traktor and a couple of other DJ apps (that I'm not that interested in) ...but Ableton Live. Obviously not.
Being a part of the very active monome and ableton community forums, I must admit my heart sank when I saw the lack of activity in this particular forum. For a product that has been out for a few years, this is not a good sign...
