Re: Dissecting Sysex and/or MTC w/ PianoSmart

2004-01-02 by Jorge Fernandez

This issues aren not yamaha but MIDI and MIDI FILE
try:
http://www.csw2.co.uk/tech/midi2.htm#BM0_
For a nice explanation.

Also:
http://www2.sfu.ca/sca/Manuals/247/midi/Midi.html
Has a very extensive explanations and glosary

If you want ALL SYSEX for XG from YAMAHA (not all are for DKV) try:
http://www.yamaha.co.uk/xg/reading/

And also
http://www.yamahasynth.com/tuto/index.html

It seems to me that if you review this pages, you will find all the 
info needed, except some, specific to the DKV, keep secret by Yamaha 
for reasons only they can understand.
