How to send a Tune Request (sysex)? - MIDI Designer Q&A

How to send a Tune Request (sysex)?

+2 votes
I would like to bew able to send a Tune Request to my Roland Jupiter-8 (w/Encore MIDI) from my iPad.  How do I set it up in MIDI Designer?  The Encore manual says that the sysex Tune Request is F6, so i tried setting up a momentary button to send sysex "F6", but nothing happens.  I also tried a toggle switch.  What am I doing wrong?  From what understand, it's a "system common" command, which doesn't require device ID's, etc.(?)

Hi and thanks for your question. I'm looking into this. Have to determine if it can be done with sysex or not, first of all. I'll be back... Thanks!

Hi and thanks for your question. From what I can understand from the MIDI spec, we don't handle this situation yet in MIDI Designer. Is this a very important use-case for you? Just trying to gauge the importance for MIDI Designer/you for future implementation.

Thanks!

It's not really that important. It's just one of the few commands the Jupiter-8 Encore MIDI will respond to and I was just testing it out.  Thought I was doing something wrong...
Thanks.

Okay, thanks, I'm leaving this as a "suggestion" here for now.
