about sysex |
  |
|
Hey
---------
I would like to control some parameter on my sampler but those are only accessible via sysex. Here’s the info about one parameter
E4_VOICE_AENV_SEG2_RATE, id = 121 (79h,00h) min = 0; max = 127 (Rls1
---------
Next is the info provided by EMU…Well i can’t figure it out and
and i’m sure that once you know how to write one sysex command all the other are quite similar…anybody have a couple of minute to decrypt how to write this properly in the cubase mixer...
General Information:
The E4 line of products support the Non-Real Time System Exclusive
General Information Device Inquiry messages (sub-ID#1 = 06).
Format: {F0h,7Eh,<device ID>,06h,01h,F7}
{F0h,7Eh,<device ID>} = Universal System Exclusive Non-real time header.
06h = General Information (sub-ID#1)
01h = Identity Request (sub-ID#2)
F7h = EOX
Response: {F0h,7Eh,<device ID>,06h,02h,mm,ff,ff,dd,dd,ss,ss,ss,ss,F7}
{F0h,7Eh,<device ID>} = Universal System Exclusive Non-real time header.
<device ID> = ID the hunk of metal and plastic is set to.
0 - 126 are Unique ID's, 127 is an All Broadcast ID.
06h = General Information (sub-ID#1)
02h = Identity Reply (sub-ID#2)
mm = 18h (Manufacturers System Exclusive id code)
ff ff = 01h,04h (Device family code, 14 bits, LSB first)
dd dd = Device family member code, 14 bits, LSB first
00h,05h = E4
01h,05h = E64
02h,05h = E4k
03h,05h = E64FX
04h,05h = E4XT
05h,05h = E4X
06h,05h = E6400
07h,05h = E4XT ULTRA
08h,05h = E6400 ULTRA
ss ss ss ss = Software revision level, 4 ASCII characters.
example: 4 . 0 0 = version 4.00
F7h = EOX

Answer not possible, not enough input was provided.
What you should look for is the general layout for sysex parameter control messages and then substitute the specifics into that.
What you provided, apart from the specifics to control one parameter, is the layout for a message to query the device for it's identity and the possible replies on that.

Was affraid already you'd do that .. ok asked for it, so here we go :
One of the examples in the manual is :
Parameter Value Edit:
EXAMPLE:> {F0h,18h,21h,ddh,55h,01h,02h,<xxh,xxh,yyh,yyh>,<Checksum>,F7h}
F0h = sysex message
18h = EMU ID
21h = E4 ID
ddh = Device ID
55h = Special Editor designator byte
01h = Command::Parameter Value Edit
02h = Byte count(number of Byte pairs)
{xxh,xxh} = Parameter ID (LSB first)
{yyh,yyh} = Parameter Data
<Checksum> = 1 Byte = XOR(1's compliment) of sum of {<xxh,xxh,yyh,yyh>}
= 7Fh is ignore checksum flag.
F7h = EOX
This message contains only 1 packet.
Do not send messages containing more than 256 Data Bytes, or 42 Parameter Edits, at a time.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-0=>>
Here in are :
ddh: to be substituted by the device id of the sampler (7f for broadcast).
xxh, xxh: to be substituted by 79h, 00h for your example.
yyh, yyh: to be substituted by the value to set
<checksum> best set it to 7fh, as otherwise you'll have to calculate a
correct value.
To set your 'example parameter' to the value 127 (which is hexadecimal 7f) this translates into :
f0, 18, 21, 01, 55, 01, 02, 79, 00, 7f, 00, 7f, f7
in which I ommitted the h's (which are only used to indicated hexadecimal
numbers and are not part of the numbers), and assuming a device ID of 01 (you could use 7f when you don't know).
Now how this must be handled in Cubase ... I don't know ... but I hope this helps you

in the 80's I owned a Yamaha MEP4. its name stands for Midi Event Processor 4 (it had 4 processors). it was very powerful but only programmable in hexadecimal. I had fun with it but maybe I am just weird.............

It looks like the "new" site is gone too. Fortunately, someone else created a mirror site. Get it while you can!

UPDATE: That last link that had been working (at least in 2015) doesn't seem to work any more either. If interested, try here: http://midi.teragonaudio.com/ for a mirror site that might contain all of the various sub-pages. |
