Look at the manual, maybe you can send some sysex strings to reprogram the synth. I'm pretty sure the notes assigned to each part dynamically....

Hi, "how to make my own strings" Why don't you copy the synth's strings? Take e.g. Midi-OX, do what you need on synth and then read the message. Save it and...

I'm not familiar with Logic, but you should probably check MIDI filter (in MIDI setup) and enable sysex - in case that after "record - stop - play" TX didn't...

I am at a loss, too. With MT4 USB sysex data should be processed without problems. Hm, but...with TX81Z - I don't know. I'm just not sure. I remeber that mt4...

That's weird. There is no good reason for that happening. I'll try take the service manual to work and have a look at it to work out why. So, I assume pumping...

Well, it seems likely that there is some failure in hardware checking during the bootup process, and what is flashing is some error code telling what hardware...

If we look at the schematic; THE LEDs are driven by IC18 (74HC04 inverter) and a 390 ohm resistor array, and that is all. The control signal comes form pins...

Hi Graham, I'm wondering if you could send CC 7 messages to set the volumes before the sequence starts? I haven't gotten to play around with the TX802 yet....
