Unfortunately that removes a fairly large number of commercial editors in particular the Mackie C4. I believe the Behringer does do checksums but someone else will have to chime in as I don’t own one. The Peavey PC-1600x is a great unit (and does checksums) and it is trivial to do midi with the Arduino. The fiddle bit with the Arduino will be multiplexing the pots if you want a full panel for the interface instead of selecting a parameter and then entering values. The 990 is a great sounding machine, make sure you get the vintage synth card, and is not difficult to program from the unit. </span></p>

Yesterday my wife told me I received a JD990, so looking even more forward to going home ;-)<br><br>Now, I wonder how easy it is to create patches on it. On the JD800 it was easy with it's huge UI. Seems like it's sysex only (well 2 cc's can be programmed).<br>
So what faderboxes are you guys using for sysex messages? <br>Would it be easy to write an arduino program sending sysex?<br>How do I merge midi signals and sysex messages? Anyone having any resource on this? <br>I know sysex is bandwidth hungry so that might be a challenge too. I would prefer to go the DIY way as I’ve got several arduino’s, rotary encoders etc. laying around…<br>
<br>I would like to look into this during my 14h. of flying on Saturday ;-) So pointers appreciated!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style>Cheers,</p><pre><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">-- </span></pre>
