Subj : Re: Beginner needs help with MSB/LSB and 7bit bytes To : comp.programming From : Rich Date : Fri Sep 30 2005 08:04 am Thanks Duane. I found a great site for a Korg synth that confirms my theory about the "packed bits" being added to the 8th bit position of the bytes that follow. http://net.indra.com/~cliffcan/midiconv.htm That would give me 256 possible values for that parameter. I checked what the range of values is for the delay time, and it shows a range of 30-1450ms, but I am not sure what the increments are, so I bet it works out. Now I just need to figure out how they map the 256 possibles to the available values. Thanks for your input. I have a feeling I will be posting here many more times as this project progresses! :-) .
