I just successfully set up a Gig in which I mapped all my widgets to my Nord Stage 3 Compact controls. The issue I’m experiencing is that when I toggle the Chorus/Vibrato button on the Nord to select C3, it’s selecting V1 in the plugin, V1 selects C1, C1 selects V3, V2 selects C2 and C3 selects V3. I looked at the MIDI controllers page in B-3X to see what CC’s the Chorus/Vibrato found out that there are only 2 settings pertaining to C/V. One is Vibrato type with is set to CC 38 and Chorus C1 On which is set to CC52. The manual has nothing that relates to this.
Anyone B-3X users have any suggestions?
Why do you not use host automation?

I’m not sure what you mean. Pls explain
He means—in GP you can map the Vibrato and Chorus parameter of B-3X to a widget, then learn the MIDI operation of that widget to the buttons/knobs on your Nord.
Sorry if I haven’t explained it correctly. I have mapped a widget in my rack to the Vibrato and Chorus parameter in B-3X. Moving the widget is moving the V/C knob in B-3X as expected. The V/C button on the Nord is mapped to the widget. Subsequent button selects on the Nord show the widget AND the V/C knob in B-3X responding. The issue I’m experiencing is that when I select C3 on the Nord, the B-3X is switching to V1. To select C3 in B-3X requires me to select the V3 setting on the Nord via the button select. Looking at the V/C knob in B-3X, it looks like the state of the V/C button on the Nord is always one “step” back in what position the V/C knob is set at in B-3X. I hope this explains my issue a little better… I know that I must be missing some step in this process.
Sorry for my understanding,
are you using a knob in the Nord and parameter in bx-3 is not changed as desired?
Seems to be some kind of “start to count at 0 or 1” issue…
Can you upload a small gig with the widget and Hammond plugin?
And how looks the global midi monitor when you press the button on your Nord?
And I do not understand how to control this parameter by a button?
you need a knob

I can do that later this afternoon. I didn’t encounter this issue when I was using Blue3. I was using the same Nord button to scroll between the V/C settings.
Hammond B-3X Default.gig (193.9 KB)
I had the same issue with my numa organ and the b3x where the C/V knob wasn’t lining up or selecting things in the same sequence on the hardware as in the software.
I used a text widget and mapped that to the same parameter so it would display in the panel which version of chorus/vibrato I was on and I ignored the knob widget values (hid them).
FWIW… the XK-5 knob does work in sync with the B3-X software but that’s because Hammond has all the NRPN values talking between the hardware and software 1:1… which is why I might suppose the B3-X doesn’t sync up with ‘third party’ controllers natively when it comes to this control.
I’ve never mapped a text widget. Can you explain it like you’re talking to a 9yr old?
How looks your global midi monitor window, when you press the butto; on your nord?
This is what consecutive button presses through the 6 V/C modes look like.
No image?
That’s what the Nord is sending when I press the button in the V/C area.
Can you export your Rig Manager and upload the file?
I simulated sending the CC values from a different source - Ableton Live
And it is working fine
Sending CC 26
Value 0 selects C-1
Value 26 selects V-2
Value 51 selects C-2
Value 77 selects V-3
Value 102 selects C-3
Value 127 selects V-1

Having a problem with that. I export the rig to my desktop, but when I attempt to attach it in an email, I get this message:
