Trying to look at sysex output from the cs6x... (S80?)

[Rod S]

Alright, here I go again diving into the obscure depths of this synth.

 

What I am trying to do: Set up my pc1600x to control parameters in the plg AN card... to try to get as much real time control as possible. Since I already have knobs for cutoff, res, and such on the front panel on the cs, no point duplicating this in the pc1600x. So all I have left is the assignable controllers 1-4. OK, I still have 12 sliders left

 

So I figured I'd try to program the sliders to control some of the other functions, which I understand can be controlled from sysex. So I switch on sound diver, to see if I can read the sysex output when I change the parameter, and then program the sysex message. Should work right? I know the wavestation SR.

 

Well, the only thing I get is note on/offs, bank/prog changes, and the front panel knob movements. Editing a patch doesn't send any sysex.

 

By the way, it's not just a PLG problem. Editing the regular voices doesn't seem to send anything either.

 

Is this just not possible or am I missing something? Anybody has tried this? Casey ? (You seem to be the most familiar with the S80).

 

I guess the next thing is to try to understand the sysex info in the manual....

Well, I'm still curious about receiving sysex.. but I managed to figure out it by myself.

 

The sysex charts are actually fairly easy to understand. I got it right in the 1st try... cool. I had been looking at the alesis charts earlier today and was clueless. The yamaha one was acually easy to figure out (for a change)

 

I still have to figure out which parameters are best to modulate... but that's the fun part
