This is exactly what this projects needs more. Good examples that limit themselves to one specific area in simple way.

I’ve wanted to use this project to create a control panel for my Yamaha P50m piano module that has a ton of undocumented sysex commands. I’ve reverse engineered a lot of it, but since Yamaha requires you to add checksum to any sysex command, it’s not so easy to interact with it using just simple saved commands.

thanks, and I hope you get onwards with your example so the threshold of using CTRLR gets lower 🙂

Hi.

As my first post (after spending time trying to get a grip on things) this might be a bit “negative”, but I would suggest one thing:

Use version control software.

Wouldn’t it be better for the organization of all the changes and different contributors to use version control system, for example Git? This would make sure that all changes are tracked and diffs can be made easily, and things can be merged in ordinarily fashion. Thus it would make it easier to maintain the project and to have good document in one central location (GitHub?) that’s public on the net and one can easily find it using Google.

It took me many hours of just scourging through the forums to accidentally come across this thread. Google doesn’t find it, and since these forums don’t have stickies, it could easily get under a ton of other posts and be forever hidden / forgotten.

And this document is definitely something that shouldn’t be lost to the depths of the forum.

Thank you for your understanding and please, don’t take this too harshly. Just something that many years of software development and open source projects have thought:

* Centralize all information to one place.
* Make it easily available to all contributors.
* Make sure it can be found with Google.
* Use version control software, it saves lives.
