Layout for Roland JD Xi

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Roland

Hi,

I saw the editor for the Roland FA06

http://mididesigner.com/qa/3093

and looked similar to the functions of JD-Xi. I routed midi to my PC and with midi translator pro I did the following rule

Incoming/outgoing

F0 41 10 00 00 77 oo pp qq tt ss rr ii F7

F0 41 10 00 00 00 14 oo pp qq tt ss rr ii F7

Where 77 is the system id of FA06 and changed it to JD-Xi's 14. (Also I had to add 00 before). The rest variables remained the same and it works!

My problem is selecting the PCM wave.(they use different engine) . I can't find a formula to create 160 steps to transmit the following:

F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 01 10 F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 02 0F F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 03 0E F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 04 0D F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 05 0C F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 06 0B F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 07 0A F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 08 09 F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 09 08 F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 0A 07 F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 0B 06 F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 0C 05 F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 0D 04 F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 0E 03 F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 0F 02 F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 01 00 10 F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 01 01 0F F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 01 02 0E F7

These are the first 17 waveforms. The last digits ,before F7 are checksums? Because selecting roland's or Axe checksums I can't transmit these values.

Could someone help me here?

Also I have a question regarding the app. Is it possible to batch edit and replace

F0 41 10 00 00 77 with F0 41 10 00 00 00 14 in the layout with eg a Hex Editor or something?

Comments

regarding your very last question about batch replacements, that's not currently possible in MIDI Designer. However, we can do it directly in code for your layout when you are ready. Just sent an email to Support with the layout and explain exactly what needs to be done the simpler the better, of course. Thanks!

use one of the roland checksums

1. I’ve done this for JD-xi. You will miss two bytes at the end of the sysex when you look at MIDI string. This is correct, The F7 and roland check sum is NOT shown in the midi box . If I remember correctly. 

2. Also you need to use named ticks b/c Roland goes to second byte after it reaches 0F. If you search the forum you’d find some examples of this See .your dump (last 3 lines)  

                                                                                            V 

F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 00 0F 02 F7
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0E 12 19 01 20 35 00 00 01 00 10 F7 

3. Replacing values in the midi box:. For now there is no way to SELECT multiple controls and change the SYXES for all of them. I wish Dan could add this to 2.5. Otherwise when you lock the edit box (click the red light on the top right site of edit window in should change to green) That is the window with all the options, midi, relationship... ) Then when you open the MIDI message and fix a value of one control and click click another control the midi box will NOT CLOSE and show the appropriate message so you don’t need to do many click to change the values.

This is fixed in 2.4.5, forthcoming. We're waiting on an issue with ITC but it should be in the next few days in any case. Thanks!
