I just got a new H&A CQ-20B mixer. For current usage, I use ST4 to talk to my Kemper amp via wireless MIDI (WIDI Jack). I see the H&A mixer can receive MIDI via the USB-B input on the mixer. I send my tracks from the iPad via USB (Buses go to various input channels on mixer), so I’m going into the mixer via the USB-B jack on mixer. However, the best I can tell you have to run some app on Windows or Mac to connect USB-B or Network port to send MIDI commands. It would be perfect if the mixer could receive MIDI commands from ST4 natively. I just want to send mute and unmute to effects and such on some songs, so nothing crazy. But if it does work, then it opens a lot of options. Thank you!
The CQ range mixers natively speaks MIDI via USB and can receive MIDI from stage Traxx via USB cable without the need of extra gears.
I don’t understand your issue here.
If it is a probleme of midi format, you can use my convertor to simply add the midi command into Stage Traxx.
It is an HTML base convertor, so open it with Chrome.
It will listen to any CQ NRPN command and translate it into a command that can be use directly in with STage Traxx.

@frenchie I tried running it from my iPad in Chrome but the converter wouldn’t work. I did run it on my Mac when connected USB to the CQ-20B and was able to capture the ST4 code when I toggle the mute for FX2 on/off. However, it isn’t changing it when I run it from the iPad with iPad connected back to the mixer via USB. No huge deal as I can do this with foot switches, but would open up a neat world of controls via ST4 and the mixer for spots in songs.
It generated this code. I tried it with and without the timestamp to no avail. When I tried the MIDI Learn in ST4, it only shows the CC99.0@1 parameter. I tried it using CC99.0 and CC99.127 for on/off an nothing for either one.
[midi@: CC98.61@1, CC99.0@1, CC6.0@1, CC38.0@1]
or
[midi@00:00.00: CC98.61@1, CC99.0@1, CC6.0@1, CC38.0@1]
Hello.
Yes the HTML local cannot open on IPAD.
This is still something I want to address but no big success up to now.
You did the correct way, via Mac or Macbook is OK.
For the message generated, are you sure of the first “@” after “midi” ?
I do not recall having it generated by my convertor…
