  Well, I would like to give a huge thanks to Hendrik Jan Veenstra and Kool
Music for such great assistance. I'm greatful!! Since todays e-mails I've
been able to successfully send a SYSEX message to my synth. It was just the
information I was looking for. And explained in a way so that it was
understandable. Even the hexadecimal calculations:))
  The only problem is that I've only been able to do it successfully with
Midi Ox. Midi Ox seems to have less in the way between me and the synth. It
is easier to see how things work. But Logic..........

  This is my new struggle and I haven't found the Logic manual to be any
help. I created a new fader which I would like to use to control crossfade
direction for example. I set it for SYSEX and I put the string in there. I
cable the fader to the output for the E-mu synth and when I tweak it nothing
happens.( I know it can work because I tested it in Midi Ox). Now my
question is how am I supposed to control the crossfade direction with the
fader if I'm defining the new parameter value within the SYSEX message
itself? For instance: F0 18 id dd 03 3C 00 27 00 F7 To change the value from
27 to 12 do I have to open the fader and change it there? Isn't there a way
that I can use the fader to change this? Like how you set a fader up for a
cc for volume and pan?
  I feel like I'm really close now but just missing it.
         Thank ya' very much!!
