Song Position Pointer – LS Byte then MS Byte.
Used to remotely set the starting position within Black Box’s filter and drumbeat sequences. Because the
sequences are only two measures, incoming positions above two measures are reduced to give the correct
position within the two measure sequences. For example, if the received number gives a position of bar 55, beat 2
and tick 3, it is automatically changed to bar 1, beat 2 and tick 3. Song Position Pointer messages are not sent out.
