ADA MP-1 Digital Modification

[rnolan]

Hey GH, I added a page to the MP2 factory patches doc (attached), I'll do the MB1 later.  Although it's probably in the MB1 manual...

[Griphook]

Thank you, but Wow, thats a huge amount of parameters and their Dependencies. This will take its time to get it running...

That's why an mp-2 preset dump is 140 bytes

>:D

I didn't include the CC assignments (CC#s, Slots, parameters), as they are set up patch by patch (except for 2 global assignments) I assume they are also in the dump ?

[MarshallJMP]

I guess so and I also think the name you give the preset is included in the dump.

[Dante]

I'm really enjoying lurking on this thread

[MarshallJMP]

Well I suggest since you and R are both MP-2 users that you guys figure those 140 bytes out, it might be a fun project to do  :lol:

[Dante]

you guys lost me six pages ago  :facepalm:

i'll be here to make a gui when we get that far  :thumb-up:

[MarshallJMP]

I think it's almost impossible to find out what is what in 140 bytes. I think it might be best to ask Dave if he has some info about it.

[Griphook]

Any suggestions how to organize the different Parameters of the MP-2? I believe it wont fit in the small box, like the MP-1 and Classic do.

[MarshallJMP]

I think we first need to figure it out, so you know what parameters are included in the dump, no?

[MikeB]

It may be that the only approach is to do it scientifically. Start with a basic uncomplicated patch. Dump it.  Make a change to one thing.  Dump it.  Compare the two.  This will be a slow and painful process and I'm only suggesting it because I don't have an mp2 and so can't volunteer to do it myself.

[MarshallJMP]

yeah maybe not a bad idea  :thumb-up:

WRT the step by step dump-testing, I'm thinking..
AFAIR, the MP-2 can be remote controlled.
If so, wouldn't it be possible to script (from a PC) this mechanism of changing one parameter, then dump, then repeat and rinse..?

Following this, there will of course be the next event: comparing all those dumps, which might be done using either a simple database or spreadsheet, methinks.

[Griphook]

The automatical change of Parameters will not work,since we do not know the exact structure of a dump.
But I think this is the only way to get the Position of the parameter in the dump, the structure of the dump and also the Hex-Range of each parameter.


I guess, we should do the same procedure with the MB-1?
