Here's a nice link that explains RPN's and NRPN's.

http://www.midisite.com/info/synth/RPN.htm

In the sense that the RPN's and NRPN's are the only controllers in the
MIDI spec that support 14 bit operation, you were right by the way.

Mike.

I found the following site very informative in its disscution of MIDI and RPN and NRPN.

Yeah, I'm not sure what you were politely disagreeing with in your 
previous post, though.  The link you posted above says NRPNs and RPNs 
consist of "three controller change messages", but in fact, it is 
referring to the first two CC's to create an RPN or NRPN, and the third 
is the value to be changed.  So when I said "NRPNs consist of two CC's" 
that part was correct, and when I said "...so I guess you won't be 
implimenting any double CCs!", that was based on your repeated 
statement that you will not be implimenting NRPNs.  So, with that in 
mind, I don't really know what you are politely disagreeing with.

As for my name, I'd prefer Inky, or just about anything other than my 
real name, because in the past I have been the victim of cyber-stalkers 
of varying levels of derangement, the most deranged of which was a 
homeless man who used public library computers to post bizarre bigoted 
rants to usenet about the need to burn witches and homosexuals at the 
stake.  Needless to say, these posts were not too popular with anybody, 
but unlike most, I did not respond to scold him, I responded to make 
fun of him, and that seemed to make all the difference as he began 
obsessing over me until finallly culimating in spray-painting my 
mothers fence because he thought I lived there, after he scoured the 
net to find traces of indentifying data pertaining to me.  

So, although it is fairly easy to find out my real name if one really 
wants to (which you will when I finally get around to ordering my Hawk 
kit, anyway), I would rather not make it so easy that anyone who is not 
determined to find out, won't.  Of course I'm not concerned about you 
knowing my name, since you don't come across as the deranged cyber-
stalker type, but since this is a public forum I would rather it not be 
used here.

Well, I guess Inky will just have to do then (!).

I am going to stop talking about MIDI CC's until at least some of the
code is written. More work, less talk from me for now - kind of a thing.

Mike.

Damn, now we've started one of those dreaded Awkward Extended 
Silences!  Well maybe I can cap this off with a somewhat pointless 
reply...

Yeah, it's unfortunate because, as an early adopter of the internet, 
and one of its few early technologies, usenet, which at the time 
seemed to be an obscure corner of interesting social exchange between 
mostly academics.  I used my real name for almost a decade long 
before I knew that somebody was archiving everything and would 
eventually sell it to a company called DejaNews who would in turn 
eventually sell it to Google, making those archives immediately 
accessible to everybody on the planet for eternity.  But even so, I 
probably should have known better, having already been a 'phone 
phreaker' as a teen in the 80s...

Now, can somebody please say something about the Poly 800 to get back 
on topic????

Hey, I think Zoinky is a great name. I mean, surely we don't need a suite and tie to get into this joint.
As long as it is an analog joint,.... I mean Zoink, it should not matter to others what we call ourselves.
Politeness is not a virtue, it is something which is used by politicians etc to lie and con. Lets accept each other as we find each other.
True maturity will have an inicent aspect and not rigid and serious.
Peace Al
