After working on some patch request rules, I ran into something sort of confusing.
(This is all viewed in Electra One Console). So when the Electra One requests a patch, first a big chunk of sysex comes in that is formatted in hexadecimal, which is expected, then a few lines lower, there is a line of text saying “handleIncomingSysex: received data:” and then the same hex data is listed with the byte#, and then the decimal version of that hex byte.
I assumed this was just the same data being shown formatted in both hexadecimal and then in decimal, but at some point when working on my Matrix 1000, I ran into a wall where they didn’t seem to match up anymore.
The yellow boxes show the last matching byte that I can literally count out sequentially that match. I was trying to parse and pull the byte that is in the blue box, 0Dh, but in the lower section of data, there is no 13, the decimal of 0Dh. I also noticed there are also lots of bytes with values higher than 127.
What am I missing here? It seems like the Electra One is doing its own conversion of the incoming Sysex data, as when I view the midi data within Midi Monitor, I only see the outgoing request, and incoming 275 bytes of hexadecimal data.
This might be an obvious midi data convention that I just don’t understand, but I thought if I’ve run into this, someone else might, so it would be worth asking here on the forum.
Thanks!
