The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello Lance !
I've heard that some MIDI - USB converters work (or not...) with AN1x 
Edit, for some obscure reason(s). It is a recurrent topic on the 
forum... I use an inexpensive Prodipe 1i/o MIDI - USB "converter" (let's 
say : cable !) without any problem. My computer is a standard PC with XP 
- SP3, Vista is flawed and i don't need W7 as XP is stable and reliable 
with all my software.
If you can try another MIDI - USB converter : try it !

Your sysex message structure should be :

F0 Exclusive start
43 YAMAHA ID
00 device Number
5C Model ID
0bbbbbbb ByteCount (b = 1 or 0 -> 00 to 7F hex)
0bbbbbbb ByteCount
0aaaaaaa Address High (a = 1 or 0 -> 00 to 7F hex)
0aaaaaaa Address Mid
0aaaaaaa Address Low
00 Data first byte
| |
0ccccccc Check-sum (c = 1 or 0 -> 00 to 7F hex)
F7 End of Exclusive

According to the MIDI implementation chart of our favorite keyboard.
Cheers.
J.F.
