Variable Mid byte question

Question

One my quest to create the CS6X layout I encountered the variable Mid byte problem.

So for example, when I want to address a parameter I need a high byte, mid byte and a low byte for the address. The Mid byte is variable here. The first time I encountered that was with the voice elements. Each voice in the CS6X has 4 elements so the Mid byte is variable from 0 to 3 to address the element. Each element has its own set of parameters. Well, that was easily solved by adding all the elements with all their parameters. But now I am preparing the drum voices and now it becomes a bit too much. The Mid byte is now variable from 0 to 48hex. This means that per voice I have 72 (48hex) elements per voice in which each element represents a drum sound. Each elements has its own set of parameters. This means I would have to create 72 pages of parameters and that's overkill. Does the current Midi Designer offer a solution for my problem? Please let me know if it's possible or not.

Hi ezb: bit manipulation is not possible directly in MIDI Designer right now. However... perhaps you can list two MIDI messages with the bit manipulated so we can see what the final messages look like?

Answer 1

+1 on this one. I'd like to see an option where a Supercontrol provides a number as a parameter.

I have a device (Mixer) where I want to control the levers to Buses and Aux channels (14 bit NRPN). To do that today I need to create 20 layouts that looks exactly the same. If I could pass on a number as a parameter would make things soo much easier.
