Read a text string in a SysEx message and take action in MDP2 based on a text match

Question

Recent user question - is it possible to read a text string in a SysEx message and take action in MDP2 based on a text match?

Yes, MDP2 (with StreamByter) can:

• Query hardware for the SysEx message
• Read an inbound SysEx for a text string
• Test if that matches a stored text string, returning the string number if there is a match
• Take action in MD based on the matched string number, such as jumping to a specific page

This layout provides the necessary code, configured in a demo mode.  See the demo layout for further information.

Well, I apologize...2 yrs ago I was pretty gung-ho on getting a functioning Lexicon PCM8x layout working...and I found that the amount of named ticks I wanted to use in my layout was far too heavy...and some personal stuff came up and a year has zipped by. I'm back into re-making my first remote (for the Fender CyberTwins) and might find my way back to the PCM layout.
