Re: More Undocumented Remote Control Sysex Commands

2005-05-30 by steve_the_composer

It is very tedious work and still rather incomplete.  It is all 
trial and error--which is only limited by what I decide to try. (It 
represents work spanning a couple of years.)

For example, I had been working in pattern mode and found what I 
considered to be oddities. For example, I found a command that 
starts the sequencer via remote and a command that would stop the 
sequencer via remote--but only if it had been started from the front 
panel.  In other words, no stop via remote if it had been started by 
remote.

Well, when I tried it in song mode (which I hardly use), IT 
WORKED!!!!  (Byron--If you need the ReMOTE 25 to start and stop the 
E-Mu in song mode only, I may have some sysex commands for you. I 
will test it some more before posting.

Keep in mind, these work only when the E-Mu is in remote control 
mode. When in remote control mode, the E-Mu also sends remote 
control sysex. If you have the E-Mu's midi out going to other gear, 
it will receive the sysex (which may or may not be a problem).

More to follow.

Aaron, any caveats or warnings regarding the use of E-mu's remote 
control?  (Or any insights into the logic behind it, what the code 
is of the tap button, etc.)

PS: I did find the command that turns XMIX on.
