Definition of MIDI data assign accessible via Sysexs
The following table describes the 32 bytes of MIDI configuration assign for a control of the Bitstream
3X
Each octet is sent / received in the form of 2 nibbles; the MSB is sent/received first.
To configure a control of the Bitstream 3X, 64 nibbles of data will be therefore sent in the Sysex, in
addition to the heading of the Sysex. A checksum calculated based on the total of the data from the
sysex will be equally calculated and inserted just before the end marker of the sysex F7.
The programming of the control can be done with or without a request and acknowledgement, the
Bitstream 3X will return or not an acknowledge sysex indicating the result.
Example: if the byte to be sent is 27 in hexadecimal, the 2 nibbles will be 02 followed by 07
