Cyclone Manual w/ Midi Implementation

Hi does any one have the Cyclone manual w/ the Midi Implementation page? Ally the copies found on the net seem to be missing that page. Thanks!

Hi All –

I just uploaded the Perf/X Navigator Manual and EPROM to the group @ Files -> Perf-X -> Navigator.

As per my Cyclone MIDI implementation request: if you look on page 66 of the Navigator manual you will find its MIDI implementation page. The Cyclone manual joebritt1969 uploaded did not include this page. Does a Cyclone MIDI implementation exist?


Thanks!

Very interesting.
The scan I uploaded was from the manual that came with my Cyclone.
It was actually bound (3 large staples), which i removed so that I could scan it.
My manual is marked "preliminary," but the other Cyclone manual scan didn't have it either.

Thanks for the scan Joe.

The Navigator manual lists the Cyclone ID as 01 in the MIDI spec so I hacked the following together and was able to change the Rhythm via the following:

F0 10 08 01 06 00 00 F7 - Rhythm: rC
F0 10 08 01 06 00 01 F7 - Rhythm: PU
F0 10 08 01 06 00 02 F7 - Rhythm: LS
F0 10 08 01 06 00 03 F7 - Rhythm: LP

However, I could not figure out a message for any other param. I am also running Cyclone V1 as it is the only version that can be loaded onto my unit.
