The ROUTE gadget is only available when the CREATE DRIVER window is
displaying the `GET FROM SYNTH' MIDI protocols. Use of this gadget
requires entry of a MIDI command to GET data and entry of the string
gadgets found at the far right of the window (Ch Ofst, Chan Mn, Chan
Mx, Size). Patch # Mn and Mx may also be required if the command to
GET data contains a "-P".
Click on the ROUTE gadget after entering the required data, and a
requester will open allowing you to change the MIDI route prior to the
GET. Hit the GET button when the route is correct. The sysex file
that is received will be displayed in the `»» Work Area ««' portion of
the CREATE DRIVER window.
If the entered Size was too small you will not be able to view the
entire file, if it was too large you will receive a message stating
that the expected sysex file was not received.
Read the help text for the `»» Work Area ««' gadgets to see how you
can simplify the driver creation process!
To change the MIDI route, hold down the left mouse button while pointing
to one of the MIDI route numbers. The number will turn red and the
pointer will disappear. Continue to hold down the left mouse button and
move the mouse up to increment and down to decrement the value. Release
the mouse button when the correct value is displaying.
S-Ch ==> Sysex Communications Channel. Make sure this channel matches
the channel of the instrument you want to communicate with.
Ch ==> Audition Channel. This channel is used for the "Note On"
commands generated by "The PatchMeister". This channel will
more than likely be the same as the `S-Ch' channel. However,
some synths (i.e. Roland MT-32) use one channel for Sysex
Communications, and a different set of channels for "Note On"
commands. Make sure this channel is set to match the channel
on which your synth will respond to "Note On" commands.
In ==> MIDI In. Bars&Pipes Pro users may select a MIDI In port.
Out ==> MIDI Out. Bars&Pipes Pro users may select a MIDI Out port.
P-Bay ==> Patch Bay MIDI Channel and Patch Bay Program Number. If you
are using a patch bay, make sure the MIDI channel matches the
channel that your patch bay is listening to, and that the
program number is the program (patch) that will establish the
proper MIDI route to this synth.
Patch ==> Patch Number. Some sysex requests require that you specify
a specific patch number. For instance you may request that
Patch 5 be transmitted. The patch number will be placed in
the MIDI command replacing the `-P', so make sure you have
keyed a `-P' in the MIDI command if you need to.
