[Jsynthlib-devel] How to write requestPatchDump?

[Bill Z. <wrz...@po...>]

I'm trying to update the Casio CZ-1000 to get patches from the synth, 
and I can for the life of me figure it out.  When I look at the source, 
I just go in circles; apparantly reading a MIDI message simply reads 
from JSynthLib's own output queue!

The other problem is that this synth has (what I guess is) an unusual 
protocol:
computer<->synth
Request->
<-ack
ack->
<-patch
F7->

How would I write requestPatchDump to carry out this whole sequence?

When you figure it out, let me know.

I can't make sense of it, either.

All fixed!  Thanks for your help!  ;)

Single driver is now fully functional for Casio CZ-101 and 1000.  So .. 
what do I do with the code?  I have a SourceForge account, but do I need 
to beg permission for write access?

Meanwhile, I discovered that core.Driver, AlesisDM5SgSetEditor, and 
XMLDriverImplementation all send NOTE_ON twice when told to play a 
patch.  Shouldn't one of those be an OFF?

Developer access isn't that difficult to get (after all, *I* got it). 
Any of the admins (Brian, Hiroo, Torsten, RdbRob, and.... Garret, I 
think) should be able to add you. I guess they just need to know your 
sourceforge ID.

And... don't forget... do an *update* right before you commit.

I guess so. However, I think that the MIDI spec actually says that a 
NOTE_ON with velocity of 0 is supposed to be considered a NOTE_OFF.
