help with midiMessageRecieved & microwave XT

[msepsis]

I was hoping somebody might be able to lend me a hand with figuring out what might be going on wrong here..

I’ve been working on implementing the lua code that updates my panel based on the synth’s program settings. off and on for what seems like a while now…
Currently I’m using the latest and greatest ctrlr 709 on win 32 with a motu MTPAV (with latest ROM)..

I know the sysex message size and have figured the range by tweaking the first and last indexed modulators and watching where they fall in the placement of the 265 bytes of the microwave XT’s sysex dump.

I can get the panel to update the values, but from what is played before and after a panel update I can tell that something isn’t right as the program sounds altered after hitting my update button w/ the programRequest Lua script. I’ve been starting out testing this by only including a selection of modulators in my midiMessageReceived script, that shouldn’t matter I wouldn’t think.

I figure I’ll first post an excerpt from the manual and then post snippets of my code. Thanks in advance to anybody who can help.

my update panel button has this Lua script attached:

[code:38rndwij]
—
— Called when Request Program button is pressed
—

programRequest = function(modulator, newValue)
program = panel:getModulatorByName("Program")
bank = panel:getModulatorByName("Bank")

if program ~= nil and bank ~= nil then
m = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xF0, 0x3E, 0x0e, 0, 0, bank:getModulatorValue(), program:getModulatorValue(), 0x7F, 0xF7})
panel:sendMidiMessageNow(m)
end

end
[/code:38rndwij]

My panel has the following attached:
[code:38rndwij]

midiMessageReceived = function(midiMessage)
s = midiMessage:getSize()
if s == 265 then
out = panel:getModulatorByName("outputLabel")
out:getComponent():setPropertyString ("uiLabelText", midiMessage:toString())
console("received program data")

assignValues(midiMessage)
end
end

function assignValues(midiMessage)
console ("assignValues")
lastSavedProgram = midiMessage:getLuaData()
programData = midiMessage:getLuaData():getRange(7,262)
— unpackedData = utils.unpackDsiData(programData)

console ("RAW DATA: ")
console (programData:toHexString(1))
— console ("UNPACKED DATA: ")
— console (unpackedData:toHexString(1))

Sounds like maybe a parameter is getting a value incorrectly, or your getbyte value is for another parameter than what you set it for. When the setting for the panel modulator is updated, it is then outputting a value which is changing your XT value to something different than it was.

One way to start trying to figure this out is to perhaps parse your your midi dump into a list with the modulator name and the value it thinks it’s being sent, then cross reference that list with the current patch parameters on your XT. A PITA, but step forward in finding the bug.

I got it figured out… at least narrowed down. Thanks Filch for the post – luckily I didn’t need to go the PITA route ” title=”Smile” />
I think I can say once and for all this beast is ready for prime time – no more midiOX/VB script!

I thought I had already gone through them but indeed I had a grouping of index numbers that were off, result of not cleaning up my copy/paste job.
