Re: Sysex and USB MIDI

2013-08-31 by steve_the_composer

"the Fusion doesn't have sysex implementation that would allow it to work with commands for a remote MIDI editor."

But is the Fusion capable of doing bulk data dumps one patch at a time or even as a bank of patches? If so, you can create an editor that assembles the patch (or bank of patches) and then sends it to the Fusion.

If the Fusion has absolutely no sysex implementation at all, then you would be right. As for using ctrlr, I do not do lua programming so I cannot comment on whether or not you can assemble a preset byte at a time and then transmit it. From what little I have read, I am inclined tho think you can since I believe you can label and reference each item within a sysex dump. Again, my knowledge of ctrlr is very limited. Ask atom.
