Re: [xl7] CC# or sysex string needed to Play/Stop the CS?

2005-05-27 by Aaron Eppolito

Right, but Szonyi was illustrating the MMC stop command (which I don't
think the XL-7 supports).  All you need is:
MIDI Song Start (0xFA) - Play from beginning
MIDI Song Continue (0xFB) - Play from current location
MIDI Song Stop (0xFC) - Stop at current location

There's a screen in the MIDI menu to enable/disable the reception of
start/stop that you'll need to enable if it's not already.
