Re: sysex cheat-sheet for xl-7

2009-12-27 by steve_the_composer

I found my table (in html form) from 6/11/07. It does not include info from Aaron's list of button codes. Perhaps I was in the middle of testing those and have hand written notes somewhere.

I am not sure if the RC codes correlate with direct hidden syex commands, which I agree would be much more efficient than using remote control mode; however, I uploaded my RC table to Files > SYSEX > Remote Control as an additional resource.

PS: I didn't find my original files on either embedded sysex or remote control in the Files section. I vaguely recall taking them down, possibly to reorganize them (which I seem not to have done). Let me know if you are interested; I can look for them.

In brief, embedded sysex is where you create a midi file with sysex data and upload it as a pattern using e-loader. E-Mu Hardware sequencers can play sysex, but they cannot edit them.

Some footnotes about RC:
(1) Always turn it off when you are done.
(2) If you create embedded sysex files to turn them on and off:
 (a) put them in an out-of-the-way place
 (b) sandwich the on between two offs.

For example, I have mine as follows:
125^7 RemoteControlOFF
126^7 RemoteControlON
127^7 RemoteControlOFF

I will upload these in case anyone wants.
