RS232C Serial Control
The 8TraXX may be controlled using serial RS-232 messages via the DB-9 Serial
Connector. The data format is:
9600 Baud, N o Parity, 8 bits, 1 Stop bit
The protocol is ASCII-based. Upper or lower case characters can be used
interchangeably.
Unlike with parallel
control, RS232 and
MIDI control allow you
to play any sound to any
channel.
Some commands (i.e. Play, Assign Sound) commands contain data fields
specifying which sound number you want to play, and to which channel you want it
to play to. Other commands (i.e. Mute, Stop) only specify which channel is to be
affected by the particular command.
The details of these commands are listed below.
<CR> is a byte with the
hexadecimal value 0D.
Throughout the following <CR> means carriage return.
Play File to Channel
Description: This command causes the 8TraXX to play a specific sound file to a channel.
Command Bytes: cPL <CR> or ncPL<CR> or nncPL<CR> or nnncPL<CR> or nnnncPL<CR>
where n, nn, nnn, or nnnn is the sound number in ASCII
and c is the channel number in ASCII
Message Response: R<CR>
Comments: If no sound number is specified, the number specified with the last Select File
command (see below) will be used.
Sound numbers 1 through 511 are interruptible, meaning that they will restart if
commanded to play again while currently playing.
Sound numbers 1001 through 1511 are uninterruptible, meaning that they will play
through to completion (unless receiving a stop command) even if another play
command is received while playing.
Channel numbers range from 1 through 8, or “*” for All Channels
Examples:
Play file 215 to channel 4. 2154PL<CR>
Play file 1 to channel 7. 17PL<CR>
Loop Play
Description: This command causes the 8TraXX to select the specified sound file and play it to the
specified channel, automatically looping it back to the start when the sound finishes.
Command Bytes: cLP<CR> or ncLP<CR> or nncLP<CR> or nnncLP<CR> or nnnncLP<CR>
where n, nn, nnn, or nnnn is the sound number in ASCII
and c is the channel number in ASCII
Message Response: R<CR>
Comments: If no sound number is specified, the number specified with the last Select File
command (see below) will be used.
