hey guys,
well thanks tim, for showing us the tx thing, new to me.
the thing i found about the ex800, is that you'd tend not to fiddle with patches while you worked, as not very immediate, like a juno,
say. so a controller panel would be very fiiiine :)
i'm still looking at that midid implementation chart, and a bit confused by midi cc's 22-30, and their purpose ????? please
enlighten me if you know...
also trying to work out what the sysex messahe format:order is
exactly, as several types of message are listed(more time).
however, if any of you have your machine there, you can find out the
correct one (or any other black box) by performing a 'handshake':
open your cubase? list editor, and insert a data transfer request
message in the top line.
then arm cubase to record - with midi in/out reciprocally from
pc midi to device midi, and hit play; then stop play very
quickly (best not to have a short loop running...)
you will have captured a return message that gives you all the bytes
in the correct order. up to you then to work out which is the parameter variable (which will feature as 'xx' when you create your
(mixer map) object.
if you have a midi implemenation chart with al parameter numbers,
which we do, transpose them all into hex, and make an object for
each one.
this is the 'soft' version, and i'm going to try to suss out how
to do this with synthedit. then maybe someone can code it up as
a universam platform vsti... ????
i read about arduino, but over my head as yet...it might need to be a separate device addressing the sysex via assigned midi cc's, with
a midi cc> sysex interface going on....?

The box would connect via MIDI and could sit on the Poly's top panel where the parameter tables are....Giving real knobs for parameters. I was also thinking about hacking my Oxygen8 midi controller and taking out the eight knobs and slider then putting them into a custom made box to attach to the poly. Those knobs on the Oxygen are programmable and could be changed whenever needed.

My setup is under Linux, and so far I haven't found any tools there suitable for hacking custom synth layout. You know, like those old true analog synth used to have on their front panels. (In fact, I havent even figured out how to just hack one single knob capable of sending certain CC.)
