fader8 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) I thought this would let me sequence an 8 bit message to send to a MIDI port, but apparently it doesn't. From the manual: Num = 47 (Send Byte to MIDI): This sends the track instrument any byte value (Val) between 0 and 255 ($00-$FF). As a usage example of this meta event: if you send 246 as the byte, this is equivalent to a MIDI tuning request message. The display will show Send Byte $F6. Only use this meta event if you know what you’re doing—if you don’t, your sound modules and synths may start to behave very oddly. I'm not getting a Tuning Request showing up on my assigned port. Am I missing something or is this feature just not working? Edited June 5, 2010 by fader8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Oops! Never mind. You have to have the instrument object's MIDI Channel set to All. Makes sense, since it's not a channel mode message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Talking to yourself again, huh? Just curious -- what (vintage?) instrument do you have that you're sending a tuning request to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
