Re: iPad App - Write button

The problem may be that (according to Roland) there is no sysex or midi command to save the temporary live set to a specific live set location. So maybe you just have to press your write button on the keyboard. This would be similar to the way the Yamaha Motif editing software works, ie they're tell...

Re: RD-700NX librarian for Windows

HowardS found a problem with the librarian with Windows 64 bit which worked together to resolve. "The 64-bit version of Windows it puts your files into a directory called: "C:\Program Files (x86)\RD-700NX Librarian\" and of course, as you know, your program looks for the RDS file in t...

Re: Structure of the LiveSet RDS-File

The final check sum is not based on a check sum of other check sums. It works like this: Take the LiveSet File area 0x00000 - 0x8925F and sum the individual bytes. If the result is 0x012345AB then the lower 2Byte i.e. 45AB will be the checksum. Easy to see if you look at the sum of the other bytes i...

I am currently working on the MSI installation software etc...

Re: Patch changing made easy

The patch change is achieved through a PIC chip sensing the pedal switches and then sending sysex to RD-700NX. This is the only way I could figure out how to accomplish this. You have to send a bank change message first before the patch increment/decrement or the RD-700NX doesn't respond to the chan...
