Re: Dissecting Sysex and/or MTC w/ PianoSmart

Hi

F0 05 7E 7F 09 01 F7 - Turns on GM, but what is the 2nd Byte 05 mean?

The 05 tells it how many bytes are in the sysex command after the 05.

This only appears within a MIDI file and is NOT seen in a Yamaha Eseq 
file. Again F0 08 43 10 4C 00 00 7E 00 F7 the 08 mean 8 more bytes to 
follow.  
It seems toooooooo easy to be true.

Now F0 05 43 71 05 01 F7   off hand I don't know. What we can say is, 
that it belongs to Yamaha because of the 43.
The way I learned was to have a play with the bytes. AFTER you have 
made a backup try changing the 01 to 00 or 7F and see what happens, 
or doesn't.


You see the problem for me is that I do NOT have a DKV but only a CVP 
NOR can I find any E-manuals for the DKVs to download.  I would 
dearly like to get hold of the Data List book or Midi Book.

You can clearly read and understand your manual maybe you could one 
day scan it in and send it for me.

By all means send me the dumb file you have and I'll look at it. 
Don't, however, expect too much for the reasons above.
