Subject:Re: V5+ / Hammond XM2

If that's the case, you should be able to get the V5+ to work, but only
for one manual (upper) -- without any extra hardware. Voce supports two
sets of drawbars --

CC12-CC20: 'Main' drawbars
CC21-CC29: 'Aux' drawbars

The sound of the two drawbar sets can be mixed using VCC1 (Mod Wheel) as
a 'Morph' control. So ultimately, on a Voce setup, one could have *six*
sets of DBs.

The data for the Aux DBs are *recognized*, but not *transmitted* from
the V5+. To access the three manuals (upper, lower, pedals) of a V5 or
V5+, you need to work on three different channels --

Main Upper = CC12-CC20 on the selected channel (from the rotary switch)
Aux Upper = CC21-CC29 on the same channel, with the CC1= 127 on the
same channel.
Main Lower = CC12-CC20 on the selected channel +1
Aux Lower = CC21-CC29 on the same channel, with the CC1 = 127
Main Pedal = CC12-CC20 on the selected channel +2 (all 9 DBs supported)
Aux Pedal = CC21-CC29 on the same channel, with the CC1 = 127

For your purposes, though, this is meaningless; the V5+ sends CC12-CC20
on the selected channel only.

________
If one were to add an Event Processor to the mix, it would be possible
to use some other switch/knob on your keyboard to change what the DB
messages do. ex: Pressing a spare switch might change the DBs to send
CC21-CC29, so that you could adjust the lower manual, or CC33 and CC35
to adjust the pedals. This might require adding a MIDI merger to the
setup; I can't remember if the MIDI Out on the V5+ sends In+Controls, or
just the controls.
