Support
Everything bands and engineers ask before doors: how sets and cues work, how each desk takes a scene recall, and what to check when a MIDI export doesn't land.

- 1. Enable MIDI receive and program change on the desk, matching the Rx channel above.
- 2. Store a base scene on the desk for each song, using the numbers from your set.
- 3. On /console, pick the desk and map each cue to its real channel and level.
- 4. Walk the set in scene walk mode, then export from /export and load the file.
MIDI export troubleshooting
The desk ignores the file entirely.
Likely cause
MIDI receive or program change is disabled on the console.
Fix
Enable MIDI Rx and Program Change in the desk's setup page, and confirm the Rx channel matches the channel Bandjama exports on (channel 1 by default).
Every scene recalls one number too low or too high.
Likely cause
Off-by-one between scene numbers and program change values.
Fix
Scene 1 = PC 0 on all supported desks. Bandjama already subtracts one — if you also offset the desk's own scene list, remove that offset on one side.
Scenes above 128 never fire.
Likely cause
Missing Bank Select on desks that page scenes in banks of 128.
Fix
WING, SQ/Avantis and dLive need CC0 (bank) before the program change. Pick the correct desk on /export so the bank message is written into the file.
Two cues recall the same desk state.
Likely cause
Duplicate scene numbers across songs and cues.
Fix
Run the scene plan check on /export — it lists collisions. Renumber with headroom (11, 21, 31 for songs; 12, 13 for cues inside song 11).
A cue shows in the playbook but not in the export.
Likely cause
The cue has no scene tag, so it's a manual instruction.
Fix
Add '→ Scene N' to the cue text if it should be a recall. Untagged cues intentionally stay hand-ridden and are listed in the audit.
Recalls fire, but the wrong channels move.
Likely cause
Console map doesn't match the desk's real input list.
Fix
Open /console, pick the desk, and map each cue to its actual channel and level. Use scene walk mode to step the whole set and check every fader move before doors.
Timing drifts across the set.
Likely cause
Song lengths in the setlist don't match how the band plays them.
Fix
Timestamps in the export are offsets from the top of the set. Use the file as scene ordering, not a timecode master, unless the show runs to click.
