V must start from 34 [closed]

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Yamaha

Hi all you helpers
 

Have 2 questions :-)

1. Is it possible to insert a value for V from which it should start rising from, e.g. start at 34.

2. Can you insert a Slider which has the value 0 in the middle and then go +12 and -12?

1. yes, that's the min and max value. But you'd have to change the display values to make it look like 34-127 for instance
2. Yeah you have https://mididesigner.com/display-zero-for-knobs-sliders-crossfaders/

Answer 1

Controls have separate settings for
MIDI MIN and Max - most controls 0-127, 0-16383 for 14 bit / 2 byte, and max of 128^3-1 or 128^4-1 for SysEx 3 and 4 byte Vs
and
Display Min and Max - -99 to +999

For display values outside the range of -99 to +999, you can use text field in Named TIcks and turn off the numeric display.

In -12 to +12 case, if the MIDI values don't wrap around, then you can just adjust the display settings.
For example, 64 = 0, 76 + 12, 52 = -12

If the MIDI values do wrap around, 0 = 0, -1 = 127 / 7F, -2 = 126 / 7E, etc., then you must use named ticks.

Hi jkhiser
Work takes up a lot of my free time, hence the late reply.
But thanks for your reply, although I didn't understand much of what you wrote,, but hey, I made it work, so something must have been understood.

Can see that a lot is being written about Byte values.
So if a Hex value is 2, 4, 8 etc. bytes large.
But to be honest, I've never understood it.

For me, the following are just 2 * System Exclusive Message and 12 * 2 Byte Hex messages.
F0 43 73 01 51 05 00 03 04 00 00 32 24 F7

Why, when and how it becomes something else, I cannot fathom, although I have been looking for someone who could cut it out of cardboard with fluorescent neon tubes. :-)

F0 = System Exclusive Message
43 = 2 Bytes
73 = 2 Bytes
01 = 2 Bytes
51 = 2 Bytes
05 = 2 Bytes
00 = 2 Bytes
03 = 2 Bytes
04 = 2 Bytes
00 = 2 Bytes
00 = 2 Bytes
32 = 2 Bytes
24 = 2 Bytes
F7 = System Exclusive Message

Thanks for the help

A byte is eight bits, which can represent values up to 255 or FF.
Each position in a MIDI message is one byte - each of the above is one byte, not two.
MIDI reserves the eighth bit to indicate a command, so single byte MIDI values go up to 127 or 7F.
