Manage sequential knob subcontrols overlapping

Question

Hello all,

I have a SRX expansion card within a Fantom XR Synth.

In order to select the patches of the card I have to send Sysex msg (since MD does not support program change + MSB and LSB msg).

Patches are distributed in four banks with the same MSB and different LSB.

I have three banks of 128 patches each and the last of 91 patches.

 

I wanted to manage all patches from one knob so I created four subknobs:

 

- 1 sub knob, Sysex msg midi from 0-127, 128 ticks, MinMax value showed 1-128, send value on release

- 2 sub knob, Sysex msg midi from 0-127, 128 ticks, MinMax value showed 129-256, send value on release

- 3 sub knob, Sysex msg midi from 0-127, 128 ticks, MinMax value showed 257-384, send value on release

- 4 sub knob, Sysex msg midi from 0-90,   91 ticks, MinMax value showed 385-475, send value on release

- 5 Supercontrol, 475 named tickes (with the names of the patches), subcontrols from 1 to 4 in sequential mode, send value on release

 

Unfortunately since sequential supercontol works with overlap of the 

last tick and first tick of the following subcontrol there is no correspondence

between Supercontrol showed value and the ones from subcontrols.

I know the right number of ticks of supercontrol should be 475-3=472

but I need all in all 475 ticks correpsonding to 475 different messages.

 

Please could you help me to figure out how could I set sub and supercontrol in order 

to select all 475 patches from one knob?

 

p.s. please develop Program change + MSB and LSB message type feature as soon as possibile since it is one of the most used midi message! MD really miss it!

Hello admin. The V-Synth GT needs at 8 bytes max as a V. I hope that you expand the V to at least 8 bytes.

Hey EZB, that may be a 64-bit possibility only. What if the layout required a 64-bit device? That's iPad mini and air and later.

What do you mean? That it's not possible to make V be 8 bytes in the current situation? There is no problem if that's the case. I just mentioned it because I encountered it with the V-Synth GT.

ezb, yes. We can go to 4 bytes -- which would help elkbeat's situation -- for the next release, I think. Beyond that is more difficult...

Thank you EZB I found a solution changing the layout of bank.
Thank you admin for your support: 4 bytes will be enough for my needs. It would be a great improve! Looking forward for next release!
