Auto Build StreamByter SysEx Bulk Data Message Decode

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Original, Generic

MDP2 layout functionality is improved when controls can be preset to match the hardware settings.  For hardware using SysEx control, you can build a SysEx scanner that queries individual parameter values or request a bulk dump.  In either case, there is detailed work to code either the scanner values or the individual StreamByter decode messages.

midiDr.com/qa/6964 discusses how to build a scanner to query the individual parameters.

This spreadsheet auto-builds the necessary StreamByter code to decode a bulk message, hopefully simplifying use of the bulk dump approach.

Instructions are in the spreadsheet, including sample wrapper StreamByter code necessary to implement.

This is in Numbers format, as I develop on a Mac.  I have no way to ensure that converting to Excel produces the same results.
