EX800 Sysex question

EX800 Sysex question

2006-06-25 by patrioticduo

Hi Poly fans,

I am in the middle of disassembling the sysex section of the EX-800 code.

Does anyone have any MIDI implementation document?

Here is what I know.

I know I can request a SYSEX dump by sending F0 42 21 01 10 F7 to the
EX800.

And I also know that if I want to send a sysex dump to the EX800 then
the dump will start with f0 42 21 01 00. So it appears that the 10 or
00 determines the type of dump (01=send dump and 00=receive dump).

By the way, does anyone have any recommendation on a MIDI data send
and receiver/viewer that runs on Windows platform. Then I would be
able to send, receive and view the MIDI in hex format.

Thanks for all your help.

Mike H

About the EX in particular or just plain midi specification? The
latter can easily be found by google.

Try Midiox.

Thanks for the tip to Midiox. I'll check it out.

I already have all the MIDI spec's themselves (an original MIDI
Specification 1.0 document too!).

I was asking the MIDI implementation question as specific to the EX-800.

Thanks,

Mike H.

Mike,

In the files section of this group there is a document called P800mdk-rom-docs.pdf in the
technical section.
Is this what you are looking for ?
