OTS Sy***

[Akki]

Hello group,

I have posted this in Geno's forums but looks like it's dead cus of Genos2 so let me try here 😋

C/P

Wonder if anyone would know sy*** code for OTS Buttons,...
I have located one for OTS4 and looks like its identified as Button 128, but I have trouble for first 3 (F0 43 73 01 52 25 00 01 01 00 01 7F F7)

Hmm.. I'm very happy to help you. But I don't know what's a sy*** code.. Can you tell me what's it and why is it used for?..

Hi Akki,

Why do you need these Sy*** codes?

Do you want to remotely control the OTS buttons from an external device (e.g. computer / tablet), or do you want to use the OTS buttons to control certain functions of an external device?


Best regards,
Chris

Hi Chicken fry,

A lot of things on a keyboard are based on the MIDI standard:

Sy*** (= system exclusive messages) are special MIDI messages that are used for many different purposes:

Hope this helps!

Good day Chris,

Idea is to Controll Mobile Sheets page turn with OTS 3 (back) OTS 4 (next)
I rarely use those for any sounds anyway as my setup is mainly in REGs

Thanks

Akki,

How did you determine that OTS4 is Button 128 is in that sy*** string?

You can see it in screenshot above... Mobile Sheets detect it as such.

Now I'm confused, none of those pairs is 80; F7 is 127 and 7F at the end is 247...?
Or are we counting from 0 as 1? i.e. adding 1 to each hex code?

Thanks for clarification, Akki!

I haven't tried this yet, but I don't think the OTS buttons send fixed Sy***.

By the way, when you press an OTS button, AMCP is automatically switched on and Style Sync Start is activated. Maybe these are the Sy*** that you detected.

Thanks to you and trying to help!!
I still couldn't figure out OTS and sy*** ...

BTW, I have ordered this title device https://a.co/d/aT1Jzqu - hoping it will do just what I need.
There is lots of empty space on Genos right side, and this "button" looks small enough to fit anywhere.

Thanks, that's a cool little device! I'll check it out.

I tried to investigate OTS Sy*** on G1 by watching on a MIDI monitor (MIDI OX). Pressing an OTS button sends a lot of messages for voice set-up including a few Sy*** messages. None of the Sy*** messages are unique to a single button.

I don't think it's possible to "learn" an OTS button in the same way as a Registration button/bank.

Have fun -- pj
