Re: Sysex through? XL7 filters Sysex messages?

2010-04-16 by lz303

Hmmm...sorry to disappoint you but in my case it is definately not working. I tried both Midi outs (A+B) , i changed every possible parameter in the midi menu (eg midi merge, both 'on').

Sysex is definately filtered out or ignored or something else. 

Like i said before:

Masterkeyboard which sends sysex commands to control cutoff freq and resonance and so on ... to Alpha juno directly or even through a Korg KMS30 works perfect. Every sysex command works.

Masterkeyboard to XL7 then through either midi port A or B out...i can play notes, i mean the Alpha juno plays as i t should but the sysex commands are not functioning anymore. No reaction when i turn a knob...

If you activate (in the MIDI Menu) the "merge midi in to out" you can even choose which of the 2 midi outs carries the mix of incoming data and sequenced one. The CS shouldn't filter anything, even sysex, when one if its outputs is used as a MIDI THRU.
