send list to sxformat
Apr 30 2012 | 5:02 pm
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!

- May 01 2012 | 2:39 pmI 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?
- May 01 2012 | 4:36 pmI 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].
