Hello,
I am wondering if anyone knows if there are any MIDI SysEx CCs to Start/Stop and Mute/Unmute track on the JUNO DS loop Phrase Pad? I have not found a way.
I know I can start/stop from a footswitch (Non-MIDI) connected to the synth but that is not what I am trying to do (there are cases that I do that). I am using a Boss ES5 (or ES8) to send MIDI messages to the Juno DS61. I am able to do program changes to select patches, Performances or the specific Phrase Pad loops, however, I am unable to Start/Stop the loop or to Mute/Unmute tracks. I am playing mostly bass in a 3 piece band and am trying to get the most out of it (I'm basically the utility guy). The use case for this is I'm playing bass or guitar and singing backups and I want to trigger the loop through MIDI. In other cases I am playing the bass line on the synth and then I don't need to trigger from MIDI, so I am really looking for a hands free way to do this when I am standing at my pedalboard and mic (playing guitar and bass).
Thanks,
Kevin

Nakeyer, Thank you for replying but not helpful.
I have read the manual, it is not clear to me, Roland manuals are notoriously vague, difficult to understand and often missing details for the more advanced features. As far as I can see, there are no CCs to do this, however, there is often hidden ways to do things that are not spelled out in the manual. I am looking for an answer from someone that has done this or knows how to do it.
Thanks,
Kevin
