Re: [Evolver] Sysex and Bitstream Pro

2004-05-14 by Drew Derr

Hi there,
I'm glad for all of you who are lucky to have the Peavey, or another controller that works.  
 
As for me, I've got a BitStream Pro MIDI controller from Wave Ideas...overall it's quite flexible, and I love it.  Unfortunately, I've hit a snag with using it to control the Evolver.  The Bitstream's sysex capabiIities do not address the case of assigning parameter values with 2 x 4 bit knibbles; it allows you to identify a single byte only.  Wave Ideas (small company in France) tells me they haven't encountered this unusual spec before.
 
I'll report back if Wave Ideas is able to engineer a solution; for now their unsuitable workaround is to lock the first knibble at "00" then assign the controller's knob to adjust values of the second knibble. :(
