Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I'm having trouble figuring out how to program my Edirol PCR-50 to transmit sysex 
messages to the Evolver for parameter changes.

I've been looking for sysex info on the net, and I've read both manuals, but it doesn't make 
any sense to me.

Anybody know of any good books or resources to learn about sysex messages?

Thanks!

You won't be able to that with the Edirol.  For any parameters that use
range, like 1 - 127, will not be able to be programmed by the Edirol.  The
way the Evolver is setup to receive that data, LS nibble packaged in a byte,
followed by the MS Nibble, packaged in a byte,  the Edirol does not support
that particular format for data range. 

There was an extensive conversation on the list about programming Sysex for
the evolver.  I was part of that conversation.  If you do a search in the
archives,  you'll see how this works and why the Edirol is not capable.  The
only way would be to beg Edirol to add another mode with a firmware update
that supports the 8bit/8bit nibble format of the Evolver

Thanks... I searched the archives but I guess I didn't understand that the Edirol was 
incapable of that kind of data range. I'm still trying to figure out sysex basics.
