Electra One Mini sysex question

General discussion
1

Probably a noob question, since I only have my Mini for less than a week and so far only made CC presets, but how do I get a Sysex function configured properly? Specifically: I want to control the Cutoff on my Alpha Juno 1. More specifically: I know I need to send F0 41 36 02 23 20 01 10 00 F7, with 02 being the MIDI channel and 00 being the Cutoff value, and (also peeking at the MKS-50 preset) I set it up as below. But without effect on my Juno.

To make sure:

  1. Midi channel matches (2)

  2. Sysex on my Juno is ON

  3. I see the MIDI out port lighting up on my Electra Mini (connected directly to my Alpha Juno without a DAW in between)

Help is appreciated - hopefully without having to learn LUA coding.

Thanks,

Frankie

Add a link to your peset in the thread please so we can help you out

Alpha Juno.epr (659 Bytes)

This should control the Cutoff only - I thought I’d better start with one parameter.

Thanks in advance!

Well, you’re code is correct. The transmission is as you describe (you can check this via MIDI-Ox)

Here’s what I see appear out of DIN MIDI 1

So the issue is elsewhere

sure about the MIDI channel ? 02 in sysEx is actually 03 if the MIDI channels are numbered 1..16

The rest looks okay to me.

Anyway,
I’ve got an incoming Alpha Juno 1 , so I’ll be working on it too…

I’ve made a new Alpha Juno preset, based on the manual.

As yet the preset is untested (my own synth is underway) and WIP. Patch parsing will come :wink:

But it has 2 gimmicks the Alpha Juno’s do not have:

  • There is an additional performance LFO
  • I’ve added a Layer Xmit; any note received by the E1 meant for the Alpha can be forwarded to another MIDI channel.

Controls that do not appear (ENV View on Main Page, Tone Modify + Mono/poly on Performance Page) aren’t ready yet.
