How do you work out the decimal value of 2 msg lsb 7 bit bytes (14bit message)?

[Synthtoast]

I’ve tried the midi calculator in cntrlr the decimal value it is returning after i put in the msb and lsb is not correct i don’t think..

i guess there is a complicated way in which the bytes are joined to create a new value?

i need that decimal value to work out the correct value to send from the combo box.

let me explain

i have this in my sysex formula box

f0 41 10 00 00 41 12 10 00 01 00 MS LS f7

and this in my combo box

Sawtooth=111
Square=238
Pulse=365
Triangle=492
Sine=619
Noise=730
SuperSaw=890

all of these values worked and i found them by roughly estimating where the the next one would land from the first one which only required one 7 bit byte to display

6fH

i assumed immediately that if i simply put the next values bytes in

01 6e (2 bytes here)

that the midi calculator would give me the correct value but instead i get

001 110

so i had to guess the rest of the values.

every value works perfectly, i just know i have a lot more combo boxes to do and maybe other things that will take up a lot of wasted time if i can’t simply get that value from 2 joined 7bit bytes.

sorry if my terminology is not perfect, all new stuff to me.
