Type in a number in Hexadecimal and it displays the decimal value along with the Midi note and Midi 14bit. MidiOx displays in Hex so it can be useful to have something to translate to decimal. I my case, I was writing a preset for my BCR and needed to calculate the values in 14 bits. The FantomX uses 14bit numbers in the sysex and I was using MidiOx to work out some of the non-documented messages. As each midi data byte can only be 0 to $7F to get a larger value than $7F (you can use the program to see what decimal value that is 8) ) you must use 2 bytes. So the number range is now 0 to $7F7F ($3FFF in hex & 16383 in decimal) but as a 14 bit number. Confused? 14 Bit Hex $007E $007E $007F $007F $0100 $0080 $0102 $0081 $0103 $0082 . . . $017E $00FE $017F $00FF $0200 $0100 My head started hurting trying to work out the 14 bit value so I wrote this crappy little program. The binary and the Ascii are really just useful for programmers I guess. Royce
