Midi Prompt  - Sending Midi Strings

Using MidiPrompt to Control Midi Devices or Software

When a Midi message changes the displayed line or file in MidiPrompt, you can also have MidiPrompt send a series of extra Midi messages. This lets you use MidiPrompt to not only display prompt information, but also control instrument or effects settings, or other midi parameters on devices connected to the Midi Output channel set on the Settings tab.
Note, this feature is duplicated in the button and right click, so you can get to the edit area in two ways.
The list of extra midi messages can be editied by right clicking on a line and selecting Midi String (hex).
> Enter your list of midi strings (one or more messages per string) for that line into the midi message window and then click OK to save the string.
You can also include comments in the midi string window; any text other than hex values or white space makes that line a comment. So be sure not to include non-hex characters on the same line in the midi string box as a midi string that you want to send. Midi strings are sent in the order entered, top line first, then in sequence down to bottom of the list.
So you can enter a bank change then the patch change for your synth. The next 6 lines could be entered with Midi messages and comments.

- For the Roland’s Fantom series or the SonicCell:
  • B0 00 57
  • B0 20 40
  • - This (above)  has changed the bank, now to change the patch:
  • C0 10
  • - Patch 17 in the Preset Patch A

    So remember, each line (string) will be sent if it is formatted correctly (ie 2 character hex) otherwise it is treated as a comment.
