send list to sxformat
hey all
wondering if there is a way to send a list to sxformat.
trying to make custom sysex messages and was able to do so using expression ($i1, $i2, etc) but you can only have nine numbers that way. Any way to send the sxformat object a list of numbers and have it format that?
The ultimate goal is to create a list, format it as sysex, have max record a midi file and then write that file for another program to use.
thanks!
You don't need sxformat for this. Just prepend 240 and append 247 to your list and sent it to midiout.
Aha - thanks!
I tried that - but the seq objects reports "incomplete sysex"
and when i open the resulting the midi file - there is nothing there.
I checked and the resulting string does indeed start with 240 and end with 247 - is there anything else i need to do to have seq record this as sysex?
I think that [seq] can record single numbers only.
So you may need to send the sysex list as stream of numbers, for example with [iter].
Of course - that makes total sense.
thanks for the help - works perfectly.
