Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Weird,  my second message arrived before my first.... Wtf

No wonder that doesn't make any sense  :)

MY first message :

Okay,  walk me through this if you could and let me know if I got this down.

To program a Program Parameter (page46), it is built as follows :

1111 0000	System Exclusive	
0000 0001   DSI ID  
0010 0000	Evolver ID	 
0000 0001 	File Version 
0000 0001	Program Parameter
0vvv vvvv 	Paramater # you want to control
0000 vvvv	Parameter value, LS Nibble
0000 vvvv	Parameter value, MS Nibble
1111 0111	End of Sysex

In HEX,  this is : F0 01 20 01 01 ?? ?? ?? F7

Okay, so lets say I want to program Resonance ( page 55 ) Resonance is
parameter # 22

So line 6 of the code, parameter #22 would be 0001 0110 in binary (16 in
HEX).  So line 7 and 8 are the midi range values, which are 4 bits each here
(1/2 a byte, hence a nibble)

I think I'm getting it.

So if the value range of resonance is 0 - 100, the LS Nibble should be value
0 or 0000 0000 in binary and 00 in HEX.

The MS Nibble is what confuses me now, because the value of 100 in Binary is
0110 0100,  but according to Dave's specification above,  the first 4 bits
should be all 0's.  ( 0000 vvvv )
 
Or do I have this all screwey???
