Re: DW-8000 and external Midi Controller

Hi

If your controller can send SysEx messages, you can control all of 
the parameters (except parameters 81 - 87). You have to send messages 
like this:

$F0 $42 $3c $03 $41 XX YY $F7

where c stands for the channel, XX addresses the parameter and YY is 
the actual parameter value (so "F0 42 31 03 41" is the header string 
if you send / receive messages on channel 2). 

The address logic is this: 

XX = 00 points to Parameter 11
XX = 01 points to Parameter 12
.
.
.
XX = 09 points to Parameter 23
XX = 0A points to Parameter 24
XX = 0B points to Parameter 25
XX = 0C points to Parameter 26

XX = 0F points to Parameter 31
XX = 10 points to Parameter 32
XX = 11 points to Parameter 33

 and so forth until

XX = 2F points to Parameter 77

Hence, the logic is straightforward but the jump from 0C to 0F 
between Parameters 26 and 31 seems buggy. Anyway, these are the SysEx 
messages which the SoundDiver sends and it works quite stable. 
Whether parameter 81 - 87 are in fact supported, I cannot tell you as 
Sounddiver does not support these parameters.

Hope this helps!

Regards
Peter
