This tiny 'more' button...

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 10:22:14 +0000

Having to find clean screen area to drop down the 'more' button is a bit of a drag. How about widening it across that dead area between the tabs, such that it sits either side of the dots and becomes more accessible?

Or if it needs to stay where it is, then at least add maybe 'Config' and 'Load' buttons either side of it to save clicks for the most used options?

Option for NRPN to send NULL after message

Sun, 10 Oct 2021 22:04:18 +0000

In MDP2, it would be handy to have an option on NRPN controls (and RPN controls, if they're coming) to automatically NULL the NRPN after sending its value.

Motivation:

After setting an N/RPN, it's good practice to "lock in" the value by setting N/RPN to NULL, which prevents later Data Entry messages from inadvertently changing the N/RPN's value.

For an NRPN, the NULL messages would be CC 99=127 and CC 98=127
For an RPN, the NULL messages would be CC 101=127 and CC 100=127

Is this a good idea?

Allow L and V to be used multiple times in "Sysex Bytes in Hex" editor

Mon, 20 Sep 2021 21:38:34 +0000

I'm trying to use sysex messages to configure any XG MIDI voice to respond to events from its own channel number, like:

43 10 4C 08 L 04 L
           /    /
      voice    channel

or, alternatively:

43 10 4C 08 V 04 V

However: whenever I enter either of these strings, the MD Sysex Properties editor removes the second L or V.

I would like to request an additional Sys Ex variable (or two) besides "L" and "V"

Sun, 16 Jun 2019 00:47:26 +0000

I am programming an interface for the an1x which makes use of a variable bit in each parameter's sys ex string to determine which of three possible "scenes" said parameter affects. I suppose I could use the "L" parameter but I don't want to forfeit channel changer functionality. Browsing the questions, I saw mention of the possibility of adding variables to the sys ex tool in the future. Any chance this could happen soon?
