Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I am confused by your posts. Are you trying to offer help to someone else who asked a question or is trying to solve a problem, or are you wanting to do something yourself--such as create a sysex editor?

If its the latter and you are an experienced Synthedit developer, I would encourage you to look at the E-Mu Proteus Sysex Manual. You don't need a workaround because its already possible as part of the sysex design. (To me workarounds are needed when something cannot be done using ordinary methods.)

As for creating a sysex editor with Ctrlr, I would encourage you and others to create panels to do things that go beyond simple preset editing. 

As for Synthedit, I played with it a few years ago, but have not kept up with the newer versions. I don't know if someone has modules that could take advantage of E-Mu's 2-way sysex communication. I thought of Synthedit more as audio software than midi software--although I did create a plug-in that would display midi data from E-Mus in 16 separate windows, one for each channel. (I believe I posted a screen shot of it either in Files or Photos.)

I hope this answers your question.

Steve
