Has sysex learn be implemented?

Question

A few days ago I bought the Midi Designer App and I am really impressed by it. Keep up the good work, guys. Right now I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the iRig midi but that gives me time to learn more about Midi Designer in the meantime.

I would like to know if sysex learn is possible. Why? Because if a I don't have a midi implementation chart of some gear it will be a real hassle to filter out all the sysex messages with Midi-Ox.

Answer 1

Yes, sysex learn has been implemented. It doesn't account for "values" in sysex, but it will get you most of the way there.

Comment back if you find that it's not working as you expect.

Thanks!

Thanks. Could you tell me what the steps of sysex learn are?

Sure. The hardest step is to make sure that you've got MIDI incoming. There are two ways to verify this: one of the lights on the top right will flash, and you can do More -> Log.

Then you create a control, set the message type to sysex, and set the learn toggle to on. Let me know if you can't figure it out, please, and I'll put up screenshots and so forth.

Thank you!

I am anxiously awaiting my iRig midi to be delivered. As soon as I have it I will do the midi learn. Thanks for the steps. It saves me some time.

Hello, Dan. I got my cable so I have been trying to get up and running. I got 2 problems. The PLG-AN Card doesn't send out sysex. Problem 2 is that I tried sysex learn on the Cs6x itself. The sysex learn works. I have checked if the sysex string is ok by looking in the midi spec. It is ok. However, my knob doesn't get updated on the MD layout when I use the knob on the CS6X. I tried midi learn to learn a CC. When I use the knob on the CS6X it it is updated on the MD layout. I also tried adding a V in the sysex string. Any idea what I am doing wrong with problem 2? Problem 1 might be that the PLG card doesn't send sysex.
