Re: Sysex and USB MIDI

Can you be specific--what 7 bytes?
Did I use those 7 bytes in the tests I previously reported?
If not, why do you want to send the CZ random 7 bytes?

You can send any synth any bytes you want, but depending on the firmware, the synth may or may not respond.  For example:

Colorless green gas flies furiously.

That might mean something to one person and be total nonsense to someone else.  By the same token, 7 random bytes might mean something to one synth and it might mean absolutely nothing to 1,000 other synths.
