Xpander sysex

2010-08-30 by James R. Coplin

Does anyone know if it is possible to change a single parameter value on the
Xpander via sysex?  If yes, I would appreciate an example string.  Thanks!

Do you mean a single value- such as Osc Freq, or Filter cutoff?
I can9;t do this from work- but you can easily do this yourself.

Get the free program such as Midiox (Windows Only). If you're on a Mac, there's Bomes, but it's not free. I think it has a free eval period though. There must be some free systex utils for the Mac though.

Enable the appropriate Midi In ports, enable Sysex in Midiox.

Make sure the Xpander is set to transmit sysex.

Once you have everything set correctly, turn the knob of the parameter you want to change.

You should see the sysex string in the Midiox window.

The Xpander/M12 have an option to echo every (or darn near every) parameter change to the Midiout connector.

It's just a matter of having a program to catch & display this.

It is possible, and easy todo:

Let's take the cutoff example:
- first send a page/subpage select to say to the xpander you want to edit a parameter from this page.
F0 10 02 0B 22 00 F7 // Page and subpage select , 22 for VCF/VCA, subpage 0.
- now increment VCF Cutoff as if you were turning the first rotary encoder
F0 10 02 0A 00 18 00 01 00 00 00 F7 // Page edit follows, 18= rotary encoder, 01: increment.
- to decrease the value:
F0 10 02 0A 00 18 00 7F 01 00 00 F7

You can use MIDI-OX and set MIDI Sysex Echo into the Xpander to get all the message when tweaking the parameters.
Just don't forget to send the page/subpage if your parameter is in a different page.
