Re: XL7 and in-pattern sysex storage

2006-08-26 by steve_the_composer

Looks like an interesting module. I took a quick look at the sysex 
docs. It looks like you should be able to send both small and large 
dumps from the E-Mu.

My experience is that small sysex commands can be sent on the fly. 
The only time I sent large amounts of data, I sequenced the data 
over time. (I used Cakewalk to sequence the banks of sysex data into 
a *.mid file and e-loader to put it in my E-Mu.)

Single banks (400 bytes for performance dump; 608 bytes for voice 
dump; etc. [not including sysex header/eox]) should be no problem 
for the E-Mu to send.

Best wishes with the project.
