sysex 8bit instead of 7bit ..

Hello,

it´s me again with another beginner question.

i somehow managed to send sysex from the lemur to my machinedrum but for some reason my midimonitor tells me, that the data length is 8 bit instead of the 7bit the machinedrum is used too.

here´s what i´m sending:

midiout(0,{0x00, 0x20,0x3c, 0x02,0x01,0x5b,0x01,0x02});

how can i make this right? please someone let me know.

thanks,
martin

i go this in an "on laod" script, the lemur doesn´t stop sending the script too, like an endless loop.

A sysex message needs to begin with 0xf0 and end with 0xf7, see if that helps any.

thank you, i´ve read that lemur addds the start and end alone, no need to write it. however, both versions still fail, somehow it becomes an 8 bit message and is not readable for the machinedrum,

Hi
It only adds it when using custom midi sysex I think, when using midiout you are responsible for everything
What are you trying to do? Have you got the message right? Have you got the sysex stats of the machine?
Cheers

i use custom midi message and hopefully got it right. i try to change the rythm echo parameter 1 on my elektron machindrum from the lemur,
the sysexdocumentation can be found here:

i´m not exactly sure if i got the sysex string right, i´m new to sysex.

i made it like this:

{0xf0,0x00,0x20,0x3c,0x02,0x00,0x5d,000001,0127,0xf7}

i hope i got the sysex code correct, please let me know if i made an error in writing it down.

thanks a lot for your help.

cheers,
martin
