That’s madness. That’s why we have the StreamByter plugin on output. Without it you can’t really combine in this way but I think you can find a way in SB

Dans recommended Sb solution


Use a synthetic Sysex message on the controls, and use Sb to assemble

X control: Sysex: 59 V, one byte, no checksum, midi values as desired

Y control: 5A V, ditto

Streambyter rules:

# Combine two synthetic Sysex messages to single message

If load 

    Ass I2 = 0 # Initialize x value, adjust as desired

    Ass I3 = 0 # Initialize y value, adjust as desired

End

If M0 == F0 59 # Synthetic Sysex for x value

    Ass I2 = M2  # Capture x value

    Snd F0 7F 7F 03 I2 I3 02 18 08 F7

    FX = XX +B # Block outbound syn sysex

End

If M0 == F0 5A # Synthetic Sysex for y value

    Ass I3 = M2 # Capture y value

    Snd F0 7F 7F 03 I2 I3 02 18 08 F7

    FX = XX +B # Block outbound syn sysex

End
