Re: Pushing the Limits: Embedding SysEx Remote Control Commands

2007-06-15 by steve_the_composer

Just posted RCembed3.mid in 
Files > Embedded Sysex Demos > Embedded Remote Control.

If you want to give it a test run, you can put it in any pattern 
slot using e-loader (sysex ID=0). Once in the E-Mu, you can "play" 
the pattern. It will:

1 Open a Remode Control session
2.Pushes some RC buttons (approx. 14 commands)

IMPORTANT: This pattern does not press SAVE at any time, so it 
should not overwrite anything.

The pattern ends by pressing the RC buttons to enter Demo Sequences 
mode and then Home/Enter to start the Demo Sequences.  This 
terminates the pattern.

NOTE: The pattern leaves the RC session open. So, after testing the 
pattern, close RC session. You can do this using the 
RemoteControlOFF.mid file. (Or you can reboot the E-Mu.)

Attention SONAR users:
It is relatively simple to create RC.mid files. Once you have the 
sysex commands in banks [Sysex View], use View Events to create a 
sequence of sysex banks. Save As Mid File Type 0 and Use e-loader to 
download to the file to the E-Mu.

FOOTNOTE: Several years ago someone here wanted a way that a pattern 
would STOP when finished instead of looping.  I haven't tested it, 
but my guess is embedding RC sysex commands might do the trick. 

Hope someonce can make use of these techniques.
