- This cycle gadget can be used for one of two (2) purposes...
-
- 1) This item pertains to `ROLAND RQ1 OR RQD' communications.
-
- A Roland synth may send its banks one item at a time. When this
- is the case, the header portion of the MIDI command will store a
- target address (destination) which has to be incremented as each
- bank item is sent.
-
- If the Roland bank must send its items one at a time, use this
- string gadget to store the Roland Address Increment value.
-
- The `Roland Address Inc' must be entered as hex bytes separated
- by spaces; i.e. 00 02 00. In the previous example, `00 02 00'
- will be added to the target address after each bank item is
- transmitted. If the first bank item is sent to address `08 00 00',
- the second bank item will be sent to address `08 02 00', the third
- to address `08 04 00', etc.
-
- 2) This item pertains to `ROLAND RQ1 BULK' communications.
-
- Once again this string gadget is used to enter a Roland Address
- Increment value, but it may or may not coincide with the retrieval
- of individual bank items. Roland synths which return more than one
- sysex packet per request, hence `ROLAND RQ1 BULK', force you to ask
- for their sysex data at specific address points. Use of this string
- gadget will help you jump to the proper address points.
