I need a little tool to send different midi sysex codes depending on a note pressed in Ableton.

How to get the note pitch value I found out.

But I dont know how to define and send the sysex data to the midi output bus.

So, could anyone send me a graphical example from the GUI how to program that in MaxForLive please?

Hmm, nobody knows how to send a fix SysEx string to the output?

you would type the message in a messagebox and connect it to midiout?...

You don't want to convert note number to hex and back to decimal to be able to send that out, right ?

or use sprintf and iter to convert hex to decimal on the fly,

and use decimal, not hex.

or use sprintf and iter to convert hex to decimal on the fly,
if you want to keep all hex.


So no further command is necessary for formatting.

Simply output the contents of the messagebox...

I could program myself a hex-dec converter in max for live, like above, and then manually enter it into the messagebox ;-)

Thank you.

you can also use [textedit] to enter the hex values (once you get it going, because it is a bit strange by default)

Use the sxformat object, in your case this is an example:

[sxformat 0xF0 0x43 0x10 0x12 0x11 0x00 0xF7] which is [sxformat 240 67 16 18 17 0 247]

You can select any part of the SysEx message to be dynamic and accept it via the 1st, 2nd, 3rd ... nth inlet, like this:

[sxformat 240 67 / is $i1 / is $i2 / is $i3 / 0 247]

for example, so that you could swap 16, 17, and 18 to different numbers and execute the sysex command, just be sure to connect a bang to the left inlet from the second, third, ...nth inlet, because those are BLUE, cold inlets and they don't bang the sxformat object on their own.

Check [sxformat] help to see a dial changing a parameter in an example SysEx command.

I am using it for switching the registrations on a GENOS keyboard with ableton live.

Hi Nora Patches
Thats what I was looking for.
I discovered it a couple of days before.
Works fine.

The only reason I see to use sxformat instead of a simple message is if one needs checksum.

and you know that one can reorder list members in a message ?

otherwise, this is much simpler

Yes, in my case this was the way to go; once i wrote a SysEx editor for the volca fm and that needed checksum to be calculated as per the current parameters, but when I do a full dump, it’s just a very long message directly going to [midiout]
