HELP!!!!!!!!
If anyone out there can help me with this problem I would greatly
appreciate it:
I have recently started working with a Commodore 64. This is my first
exposure to micros so I'm dealing with a lot of new things here.
My problem:
I am trying to write a program in basic to download patches from my
Rhodes Chroma through midi to diskette, using a J.L. Cooper
'Chromaface'. I don't have the Chromaface yet, but am trying to get some
of the code out of the way before I have need the Chromaface to do any
actual testing. I want to send some midi commands to the Chroma to do things
like put it in 'save' and 'load' mode which it uses for it's cassette interface
etc. I have the midi 1.0 spec, but where do I start when it comes to the
system exclusive codes????? Do I have to wait until I get the Chroma face and
then ask J.L. Cooper???? Do I have to try (again) to get the computer
interface manual from Chroma??? Is there some kind of basic 'hack' that
I can write to send one code after another with automatic incrementation
down the midi channels until I actually see something change on the front
panel????
Any answers to these questions and/or helpful advice would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
