I just bought an Xpression and a Midimate for my effects. Was going to go with the G-Major but I've heard alot of good things about the Xpression and it was $100 bucks less so that was cool. My question is, and excuse my ignorance please, how do I need to hook the Midimate up to the RM100/Xpression so that I can program different effects to different preamp channels on the Randall?
Currently I have the Xpression in the series effects loop but I have never used anything MIDI so I'm not sure how to hook the Midimate up. Using a 7 pin MIDI cable do I hook the Midimate up to the MIDI in of the RM100 eliminating the 3 channel Randall footswitch or do I hook the Midimate into the Xpression Midi in and then run a 5 pin MIDI cable from the Xpression MIDI through/out to the Randall MIDI through? Or do I not need the 5 pin cable at all joining the Xpression to the head?
