5: The sysex to assign is: F0 00 20 4F 10 20 30 CS F7 )E,
If the calculation of the checksum only takes into account the octets 10 20 30 the
value « checksum first byte position » should be 05 (as the first octet to take into
account is the position 5, the beginning of the sysex F0 being at position 1)

Chaining the Controls
In user mode, the user has the possibility to chain different controls
of the Bitstream 3X, in order to create groups.
As well, if several controls are chained, the modification of one value will generate MIDI messages
associated with all the chained controls.
These groups or chains are generally used when the user wants to control an ensemble of MIDI
messages having the same value, by only modifying one control.
The number of the control to chain can vary from 0 to 65 (see the section on the numbering of the
controls in the beginning of this manual), 0 means that none of the controls are grouped.
Another very interesting parameter concerning the creation of chained controls is the possibility to
create virtual cross-faders (chained controls send opposed values). Some examples:
5$'-'7
Once the user modifies the slider 2, the MIDI messages from the sliders 3 and 4 will be automatically
generated, with the same value as slider 2.
For this example, the user will chain slider 2 with slider 3, and slider 3 with slider 4, so that a group of
3 controls is created.

Once the user modifies the slider 40, the MIDI messages of the sliders 40 and 41 will be automatically
generated, with the opposing values to create a virtual cross-fader.
For this example, the user will chain 40 with 41, taking care to configure the parameter « cross-fade »

Alphanumeric LCD Chain
In User mode, the user has the possibility to assign an alphanumeric chain
to each control available on the Bitstream 3X, which will be displayed on the
LCD as soon as the value of the control is modified.
This parameter allows the user to see what’s going on, since it could be confusing configuring all the
controls of the Bitstream 3X. Also, for each control, the user assigns a 16 character message which
will be displayed on the last line of the LCD. This message can recall the name of the synth or
software associated with the control (in case there are several which are controlled by Bitstream 3X),
as well as the name of the parameter being used for the control.
