Hi;

unfortunately Ocean Beach BD1 does not work with JP50 (but it seems to work with JP80). I have both JP50 and DB1, and after several emails with DB1 developers, we figured out that Midi ports on JP50 do not issue enough current for DB1 to correctly work (or something like that).

I guess that passing through a midi merge or thru box should work (I tried with a wireless midi device, and it worked). (By the way, unfortunately Ocean Beach does not neither produce nor ships DB1 any more.)

Anyway, if you do not mind using virtual drawbars and you own an android device, you can try with this app I developed and use with my JP50:
