SysEx Control of KDFX
MSB and LSB
Here’s an example, which sets a value of 50% for the Wet/Dry mix of the effect on the Aux bus.
We’ve included both hexadecimal and decimal values.
MSB and LSB
The K2661 can accept either unsigned (positive only) or signed (positive and negative) values.
Unsigned values can range from 0 to 255, and signed values can range from -128 to 127. Both of
these ranges require eight bits of MIDI information. Since each byte of MIDI information
contains only 7 meaningful bits, you need two bytes to send eight bits of information. The K2661
interprets these bytes as a two-byte pair and not as unrelated bytes. The
fi rst byte, called the
most-signi fi cant byte (MSB) sets the general range of the value, while the second byte (the least-
signi fi cant byte or LSB) sets the speci fi c range. The following table shows several decimal values
and the corresponding MSB-LSB hexadecimal values.
