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

2005-05-27 by funkjunke

Thanks for all the help guys, I didn't realize I would need to be
sending Midi Clock or time code, I assumed I could program it to just
'play' on command. Alas, it doesn't seem to want to via the remote. I
can't even enter the code '00 FA' unless I enter it as an Nrpn command
strin....the remote25s sysex won't allow any value to be entered in
one bit that equals more than 127 (FA being 250). MidiOX spit out a
different play command however (7F 7F 01 01 60 00 00 00), so I tried
that, and it was wierd, when I would upload the change to the
remote25, it would pass through and the sysex would hit the XL, and it
WOULD start playing, but then after the initial burst, the now
programmed Play button on the remote would do nothing....really odd.
I'm no expert on sysex whatsoever, so maybe I'm missing something, oh
well, lol.

And as for MMC, yeah, the CStations don't respond to that unfortunately.

No big loss, although it would have been nice to work it out like
that. I guess I can just rearrange stuff so that the XL is more hands
accessible when I'm using the remote as well.

BTW Steve, the Remote's are pretty nice, great keys, lots of knobs and
sliders, and even though they can do sysex strings and whatnot, the
capabilities of the peavey pc1600x seem far beyond the Remotes for
string command programming!

Cheers,
