Sys ex control #287

BenZonneveld · 2022-06-19T19:37:32Z

Several improvement in sysex control.
All instances get a fixed sysex channel as not to cause any conflicts.

Update build.yml

Minor update to build yaml

probonopd · 2022-06-20T17:37:06Z

Hi @BenZonneveld, thank you very much.
I am a bit puzzled by the build error.
Can you build it locally for the Raspberry Pi 4?

BenZonneveld · 2022-06-20T18:03:45Z

Replace my build.sh with the original. For testing I removed the extracting of the arm compiler and rebuilds of circle

probonopd · 2022-06-20T18:05:39Z

Can you please change that in https://github.com/BenZonneveld/MiniDexed/tree/SysExControl? Then the build in this Pull Request should "magically" start working.
Thanks!

@BenZonneveld would this fix
asb2m10/dexed#352?

BenZonneveld · 2022-06-21T00:13:21Z

No...actually I removed the sending of sysex voices and only send the sysex on a patch request sysex, as it should be.
A program change shouldn't send a sysex with a voice dump.

I had added this because then the editors immediately display the correct data. Maybe this should be made configurable via minidexed.ini, because I found it a great help so far.

probonopd · 2022-06-28T17:17:33Z

Yes, we should definitely not remove this feature!

Still, the normal way for an editor would be to do a patch request. It is what my MiniDexed master does: receive pgm change, request voice data.

If you always send the sysex voicedump it would mean I can never use MiniDexed with for example my DX7

probonopd · 2022-07-05T16:45:19Z

It could be made configurable.

into SysExControl

BenZonneveld · 2022-07-05T21:38:48Z

And there we have a building branch with my patches.

probonopd · 2022-07-06T22:32:50Z

It builds! 👍

Can you describe what exactly this PR fixes/improves?

I figured out:

More MIDI commands received via serial are interpreted
More MIDI control change messages are sent via serial
Convert NL+CR to NL on serial output

probonopd · 2022-07-17T18:37:18Z

Would #311 do the same job instead of having a private copy of Circle's serial.h? If possible I would like to avoid a private copy of that file, in order not to have the burden of maintenance. It looks to me like #311 also converts NL+CR to NL on serial output, but without the need for a patched serial.h.

probonopd · 2022-07-17T18:39:08Z

I had added this because then the editors immediately display the correct data. Maybe this should be made configurable via minidexed.ini, because I found it a great help so far.

...or we ask editors (yes I am thinking of you, Dexed) to send a patch request, like @BenZonneveld is saying? This is probably the way it should be done in MIDI.

psethwick · 2022-09-22T20:03:34Z

I tracked down the reason that my M-Audio Oxygen49 quits working after a program change to: receiving the sysex data afterwards, so +1 for configuration parameter, at least!

My keyboard probably shouldn't crash, but, well, it does. Probably something to do with its own memory dump feature.

+{
+    uint8_t lsb = (val & 0x7f);
+    uint8_t msb = (val >> 9)&0x7f;


The shift amount in SendCtrlChange14Bit appears incorrect; for a 14-bit value the MSB should be extracted using (val >> 7) instead of (val >> 9).

Suggested change

uint8_t msb = (val >> 9)&0x7f;

uint8_t msb = (val >> 7)&0x7f;

+  for(Iterator = s_DeviceMap.begin(); Iterator != s_DeviceMap.end(); ++Iterator)
+  {

The size argument in SendBankName multiplies sizeof(banksysex) by sizeof(uint8_t), which is redundant since sizeof(uint8_t) is always 1; it should be simplified to sizeof(banksysex).

Suggested change

Iterator->second->Send (banksysex, sizeof(banksysex)*sizeof(uint8_t));

Iterator->second->Send (banksysex, sizeof(banksysex));

probonopd · 2025-04-22T18:48:01Z

The description I wish this PR would have had to begin with:

Add support for

Configuration dumps
Bank name requests
Improved alignment between SysEx messages and tone generators
Enhanced debugging and logging
Streamlined SysEx voice dumping and parameter updates

1. Changes to `src/mididevice.cpp`

a. Updated SysEx Handling

The HandleSystemExclusive method in CMIDIDevice now includes:

Instance ID Validation: Ensures that the SysEx messages align with the correct tone generator (TG) by comparing the SysEx instance ID (pMessage[2] & 0x0F) with the TG (nTG). A warning is logged if they do not match:
```
uint8_t instanceID = pMessage[2] & 0xF;
if (instanceID != nTG) {
    printf("WARNING instanceID and nTG do not match!!!!!\n");
}
```
Support for New SysEx Requests:
- Config Request: When SysEx ID 0x30 is received, it triggers a configuration dump.
- Bank Name Request: When SysEx ID 0x40 is received, it sends the name of the current bank.

b. New SysEx Responses

Configuration Request (SendSystemExclusiveConfig):
- Assembles a detailed configuration dump containing various tone generator parameters, including:
  - Compressor enable/disable.
  - Reverb settings (size, damp, low-pass, diffusion, level).
  - Volume, pan, master tune, cutoff, resonance, reverb send, pitch bend, portamento mode, time, etc.
- Sends this configuration as a SysEx message to all MIDI devices.
Bank Name Request (SendBankName):
- Constructs a SysEx message containing the bank name for a specific tone generator.
- Extracts the bank name using:
```
m_pSynthesizer->GetSysExFileLoader()->GetBankName(...)
```
- Sends the message to all MIDI interfaces.
Voice Dump (SendSystemExclusiveVoice):
- Refactored to use the instance ID instead of the TG directly, ensuring better alignment with SysEx messages.

2. Changes to `src/mididevice.h`

a. New SysEx-Related Methods

The following methods were added to the CMIDIDevice class:

SendSystemExclusiveConfig(): Sends a SysEx message containing the configuration of the synthesizer and tone generators.
SendBankName(uint8_t nTG): Sends the name of the current bank via SysEx.
Updated SendSystemExclusiveVoice to take only nVoice and nTG as parameters (removes nCable).

3. Changes to `src/minidexed.cpp`

a. SysEx Enhancements

Updated SysEx-related methods to ensure consistency with the new instance ID approach:
- The getSysExVoiceDump method now sets the instance ID (nTG) in the SysEx message instead of the MIDI channel:
```
dest[2] = nTG; // Sub-status and MIDI channel/Instance ID
```
Improved parameter change handling to trigger corresponding SysEx updates:
- For example, when the volume is updated, a MIDI Control Change (CC) message is sent:
```
m_SerialMIDI.SendCtrlChange(MIDI_CC_VOLUME, m_nVolume[nTG], nTG);
```

4. New MIDI Control Codes

Defined in src/mididevice.h:

Added new constants for MIDI Control Change (CC) messages:

#define MIDI_CC_BANK_SELECT_MSB    0
#define MIDI_CC_MODULATION         1
#define MIDI_CC_VOLUME             7
#define MIDI_CC_PAN_POSITION       10
#define MIDI_CC_BANK_SELECT_LSB    32
#define MIDI_CC_REVERB_LEVEL       91
#define MIDI_CC_DETUNE_LEVEL       94

5. Logging and Debugging

Enhanced debugging information for SysEx handling:
- Logs the return value from the SysEx handler:
```
LOGDBG("SYSEX handler return value: %d", sysex_return);
```
- Logs the details of the SysEx messages being processed, including the TG and instance ID.

probonopd · 2025-04-22T18:49:52Z

@diyelectromusic @soyersoyer what do you think about the proposed changes?

diyelectromusic · 2025-04-22T19:18:58Z

I think we need to isolate the key changes in this PR and show them applied to the latest code base - I'm struggling to see what depends on what... I mean what is with that serial.h for example? And all those build changes.

Also, I don't think we should be changing how the SysEx device number is interpreted without some discussion. We don't really have the concept in MiniDexed atm. I think we map it over to TG MIDI channel (rightly or wrongly).

Kevin

soyersoyer · 2025-04-22T20:53:54Z

Added new constants for MIDI Control Change (CC) messages:

These have since been implemented.

Is there any documentation on SysEX somewhere?
