Hello all.
I have read the APPENDIX C: MIDI in the user manual.
Out of curiosity I wanted to ask you is that really all implemented for Rytm.
Sometimes companies send their SysEx specifications on demand which gives you wider control over the device.
Or time to time they send more detailed specifications.
Did anybody tried and obtained a document like this ?
All the best and thank you!
Yep, that’s all. We have worked to figure out the sysex over the years…the library is here: https://github.com/bsp2/libanalogrytm
Oh I didn’t know, I have bought this machine a few days ago.
It is really nice that some people tried it, I am checking it right away!
Thanks.
Yes, that’s all. Elektron uses sysex only for data transfers like sending sounds and project data (or OS updates), but they haven’t implemented a control API using sysex messages.
@tnussb
I understand. Thanks for clarifying that.
One short question, do these transfers can be exploited as control functions ?
For example would the playback stop while doing bulky transfers such as transferring pattern sets or kits ?
My app Collider makes extensive use of Kit and Pattern sysex. I don’t experience any freezes or slowdowns when sending Kits or Patterns, but the sysex messages are large. Kits take 1-2 seconds to transfer / process and Patterns up to 6 seconds.
Ok no close to real time control then.
Maybe some ergonomics could be improved by SysEx transfers but I am sure you people had come with great ideas for that over the years.
I’ll check Collider btw, thanks for mentioning that.
I think one very good thing about old gear was their exhaustive SysEx implementations and their attention to publish and document them.
Even it is not crucial and this is a great machine, when you have that kind of specification you really feel much more connected to the gear. At least this is how I feel.
Yeah, I wish they would implement more granular sysex messages (Trigs, etc)…it’s still useful for generating ideas, but not so much for immediate real-time control.
This app looks seriously good.
I am downloading it right away to try it 
Nice, is it possible to backup a project + samples using the code here. Its early in the morning and can’t face parsing code right now haha
Nah, just Kits and Patterns, this isn’t a backup solution…Projects contain much more info
Just came here to say Collider is a wonderful app.
WOW. Amazing work by any and all who contributed to the sysex documentation.
Aghhhhh if only there were a simple way to reload kits and reload patterns using MIDI/sysex…
It would be so nice to keep the hands free for tweaking and stomp a footpedal to reload kits or patterns 
It’s the kind of thing that makes me want to physically open my device and just solder wires to some of the main buttons (function, kit, pattern, yes, no) and send them to a breakout box for using physical controls like pedals or other gestural controllers.
…but I’m not about to void my warranty by opening the machine 
Until then lets build a robot with multiple arms or at least long fingers … 
Hmm… not a bad idea though 
Maybe for some cases this might work. I like crude stuff
