How do I send these two MIDI message from Electra One? Is it possible with a control or must I use LUA code?

0xB0 status byte
Parameter 27
Value (7 bits data): 0000001

0xB0 status byte
Parameter 63
Value (3 bits data): 001

10-bits (binary): 0000001001

Parameter 63 is used to send extra detail (small steps) for certain controls.

  • Normally, MIDI controls send values from 0 to 127 (7 bits).
  • But sometimes that’s not precise enough.
  • So, Korg (Minilogue XD) uses parameter 63 to send 3 extra bits (values from 0 to 7).
  • When combined with the normal control value (like from parameter 27), you get a more detailed value — up to 1023 steps instead of just 127.

If it doesn’t work with a control, feel free to add it to the Ideas / Feature requests list.

You have to do this with a Lua code. It is basically 14bit CC, but electra expects the 32 offset between the MSB and LSB parts of the 14bit value. ie. if it was CC 27 and CC 59, you could possibly use the standard 14bit CC control. With CC 27 and 63 you cannot. That offset of 32 is defined by the MIDI standard.
