Actually the system Ex/midi header tutorial is a bit over the top! Its all right if you want to play around with some faily deep midi programing. But not really much use it imo in my situations. Still try it, interesting shit drawing in a Hexadecimal code to tell the device to reset itself. Actually it can make your devices hang for a few seconds too, so its not something you wanna just slap in the middle of your track !! :lol: :lol:

SYSTEM EX AND MIDI HEADER..

Experiment 1
1. Create a new empty Cubase SX project and then create an empty 1 bar part on the first track.
Set the output of the track to a GM device. Don’t make any other settings in this inspector panel.

2. Select the empty part again and Press control G to open up the list editor. In the top toolbar, set quantise to 1/8 or 1/16 and turn snap on.

3. Set the ‘insert’ drop down menu to Sysex, right click for a pencil tool, and in the timeline on the right insert an event on the first beat. A line of information will appear; on the far right you will see the Hex numbers F7, F0. Drag the window pane to reveal more of this column.

4. Click on the F7, F0 characters in the column; the 'Sysex Editor pane' should open, with the same characters displayed.

5. In this window click four times on the Insert button - this should insert four lots of '00' characters between the F7 and the F0.

6. Click on each '00' in turn and change them so that the whole message string reads: F0,7E,7F,09,01,F7.
You've just written a 'system exclusive' midi message string in hexadecimal. The message is a universal 'GM reset' instruction.

7. Close the Sysex editor and the list editor.
In the arrange page press num key 1 to set the cursor back to the start of the part.

8. Now watch the front panel of your synth module (you remembered to set the track output, didn't you?!?) and press play: you should see the synth change to 'GM' mode as the sysex message plays through.

Complete load of tosh! I forgot this the GM reset command and not a midi device reset.

damn.. I think I've already explained but can't find it anymore...
it's a great trick, draw up a few random program change messages in between notes and press play... ;)

Or draw up so random controller messages then convert them 2 filter/ filter type/ resonance, lfo filter mod, lfo, pitch mod, etc...

Hi All, if all of you are so happy about SX midi fx...
How will you excited putting your hands on LiveSet?

The concept is the same: realtime processing of MIDI
signals, but this is live oriented and with a low CPU
impact and dozen of innovative modules (specially
for use with Reason, i see some of you use that).

Take a look, and visit www.petertools.com!



Cheers, Singoalla

Click here 2 check a wmv movie explaining how this works...

Man it looks so damn powerfull for someone using reason and playing live!?!?! I wonder how this will b in the future when u can interact with stuff like cubase or logic and do similar stuff!!

but I think a lot of work needs 2 b donne in terms of making it simple 2 understand... I mean it is quite a mindbending subject... a software 2 control other software that can b controller from a midi Keyboard... phew...!
