hello 

i am working to create an environment in MAX to be able to control ALL
of the sid station parameters from a graphical interface. the continuous
controllers are no problem - but a lot of the good stuff needs sysex
control. i have been reading previous posts on how to control the sid
via sysex and still can't get my sid to respond to any sysex messages.
if anyone with experience with controlling the sid via sysex or
controlling anything via sysex from max could provide some pointers that
would be fantastic. once it is all together i'll make a standalone (mac
only) application that i will be more than glad to distribute freely.

thanks so much

I'm in the same boat as you, in the past i made a console for motu 
performer and ventured to go beyond the cc control, i couldn't get any 
of the sysex messages to do anything though.  Daniel posted a walk 
through on basically how to interpret what's in the back of the manual 
it's message 867, if you haven't allready looked at it. In the end i 
just gave up cause nothing worked.  Please do post it to the files 
section when you get it all working and done (you can write stand alone 
programs from max environments?) sorry i can't be of any real help.
