ADA MP-1 Digital Modification

Maybe we should ask Dave from ADA?

[Griphook]

I do not have any contact-information, but maybe you Do?

I have Dave's skype, can contact him. We should've had a chat long ago anyways (about things from the past).
Drop me a PM with what info we need the most for the projects currently taking place.

Well anything ADA midi sysex related he has about the MQ-1, MP-1, MP-1 classic, MP-2 and the 2 combo's.

I attached a pdf on page 2 of this topic but it's incomplete, so it would be great if he has everything.

And the MB-1 Midi Software Specification and Programmers Guide (which the MB-1 manual says was available)  :thumb-up:   I suspect it will also help with the other models.

Can you try a whole Dump(Library)? Using the 0A/0B Command, because those are the ones, which seem to be the same for all Devices(According to your scanned document). And I would like to use those Commmands.

I tried it with the classic BUT I have stumbled on a problem.When you put a sysex dump back it doesn't overwrite the current parameters so you have to go a preset up and back down to load them.

[Griphook]

Ups, sorry I didn't mention that. Had this also.

But it should work, if you send program changes after the Dump Load (0B)

So if you altered Program 128 youd send

Code Select Expand

F0...0B....F7
C0 7E
C0 7F

This will send the Dump, change the Preset to 127 and immediately to 128 back again.
The Problem with  this will probably be, that we are not able to read out, which Program is the current selected one. But does this matter?

[MarshallJMP]

Mmm yes that's a good solution.But like you say how do you know what your current preset is.Else we could use both commands.So either you want to tweak the current preset and use the "08" and "09" commands or you you can alter the existing presets with the "0A" and "0B" commands?

[Griphook]

Of course we could do that, but then you would have to press the store-Button.

Another idea: The Preset, which should be reloaded can be selected, too. So one does simply set it to the one desired.  :dunno:

[MarshallJMP]

I guess it all depends how you want to use it. I think I would use the current preset,and if you like it you just need to store it. Also this way you can never mess your presets up.

[Griphook]

I personally will go withe the whole dump, just because all my other devices work like this.
But, it shouldn`t be a problem to implement both Command-Sets

But I really struggle with the MIDI-I/O Implementation. I just dont have a clue, how this works.

[MarshallJMP]

That's something I can't help you with,no experience at all.

[Griphook]

I can't help myself with this either  :blank:


But I think this is a minor issue. Because saving the Data as *.syx file is possible, and importing the file with Bome SendSX is possible.
I will concentrate on the Command-Implementation and use of a whole Data Dump.

[MarshallJMP]

Is it not easier just to use 1 preset dump then a whole data dump?
