OLD MIX DATA FORMAT
This format exists for compatibility with QSs having software prior to version 2.00. It is presented
here for reference, and can only be used for old mix data dumps or requests (no direct editing).
When receiving this data Old Mixes contain 123 bytes of packed parameter data. The first 11
bytes are common parameters for all 16 MIDI channels. The next 16 sets of 7 bytes contain each
of the channel's parameters. The bit addresses shown are from most significant bit to least
significant bit for each parameter, with the byte number first, followed by a colon (:), followed by
the bit number. Each parameter should never exceed the limit shown in the table. For bipolar
parameters, the limits shown are offset binary, since this is the format that the parameters are
stored in. To view the parameters as two's complement numbers, add the value shown in the
Offset column.
