SysEx to MIDI?

   's icon

Hello! I am working on a Max Device where I use a SysEx message to light up the Side LED on the Launchpad Pro MK1. Can I convert the SysEx to a MIDI Note-on Note-off to send to it? The message is (240 0 32 41 2 16 10 99 $2 247) where $2 is the color of the LED.

as first that sysex string
240 0 32 41 2 16 10 99 $2 247

why $2 ? typing mistake ?
or is message really taking 2nd member of list input to set value ?
Then - what do you really want - to use midi note to set that $2 value ?
And if, what is the range 0 1 or something else ?
here one example, using note 36

It is $2 because I have pitch and velocity coming in, and I set color with velocity. What I was wanting to do is use a midi message with no sysex message at all. (like 46 127 for example) to do that. Is it possible?

I don't understand the question.
Are you asking how to convert midi note to that sysex,
or is question if that Launchpad Pro MK1 could react to midi
notes instead of sysex ?
which could probably be answered by reading the user manual of it

I want to convert the sysex to a midi note, I looked through the programmers guide and couldn’t find anything.

that sysex has only 1 changeable argument.
it could be used to select midi note, but what should then create velocity for the note ?

It makes me wonder where is that sysex coming from , who is sending it ?

I had a brief look into midi specs of that Launchpad Pro MK1
there is no trace of any sysex messages it would send or receive...
....
but maybe it is not that launchpad MK1 :

MK2 and newer versions do have such sysex strings

Ok. Thanks for trying to help. It works but only with one Launchpad at a time, which is what I was trying to fix.
