Crumar Controller

The Crumar Mojo XT “Hammond B3 Clone” is actually a MIDI-controller plus
a vb3-2 Hammond clone sofware. A Windows computer is built inside. FYI:
The “Viscount Legend B3 Clone” would be an alternate double midi keyboard.

Here the Crumar is used only as a MIDI controller for a Yoshimi v. 1.5
synth in HP Envy laptop.

This assembly works fine. Had to re-midi-learn all the Yoshimi to match
Crumar midi CC’s. Midi codes inside Crumar are not programmable.

A small glitch unfortunately:

Midi-Learned all the drawbars an potentiometers in Crumar to Yoshimi.
But could not midi-learn Crumar push-buttons midi CC’s. The button's
midi-codes from Crumar are exactly of same type as the midi-codes from
drawbars and potentiometers, but could not be midi-learned in Yoshimi.
WHY? Please, let me learn?

Well,

this Yoshimi-organ is fully playable, and sounds better than Crumar
Hammond Clone itself. But could not midi-learn Hammond style percussion
buttons and the Hammond style Phaser/Chorus knob. Instead, used Crumar
additional potentiometers to do the jobs.

First of all, with "Yoshimi->Settings->MIDI->Log Incoming Events" checked, what
does Yoshimi think you are sending with those switches? Indeed, does it see
them at all?

Secondly, what actual controls are you trying to learn? Not all of the switches
are available.

Seems to happen, that Yoshimi does not see Crumar switches CC's at all? The Crumar switches are sending similar CC's as do the Crumar drawbar slides for instance.

Manual by Godfrey says:

'If aYoshimicontrol is not MIDI-learnable, a message pop-up will indicate that it is not learnable'

The 'not learable pop up windows' is not appearing. Tried to learn Crumar swithes to all types of Yoshimi slides and knobs. No luck. Nothing happens. No pop up windows are appearing.

Should Crumar swiches be midi-learned to Yoshimi switches but not to Yoshimi slides or pots? Are there switches on Yoshimi GUI?
