[SDK] a few questions for those who use it!

funkysam · Post by **funkysam** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 3:43 am

Hello,

I have a few questions about what would be possible to do with SDK...
I have no SDK yet, but I have a 15DSP board (I'll have 2 more in the next days...

) so i think I can ask the SDK to Creamware.

Before that, I'd like to know if it's possible (for those who own it) to modify the current STM2448. I'd like to do some slight mods regarding MIDI remote control.

2nd question: is it possible to work with sysex, I mean creating a device that can send and/or receive sysex.

3rd question: can MIDI automation be "hard-coded" into a device, and as a consequence, can we "break" the annoying 100 or so CC limit number for automating controls?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Sam.

hi Sam, one doesn't need to own SDK to answer all 3 questions with a clear NO

to be more precise:
q1 - devices and even building blocks (so-called atoms) in SDK are encrypted with a pretty sophisticated method.
q2,3 - there's no low level midi stuff at all in SDK

sorry, Tom

Hi Tom!
Thanks for your fast answer, even if that it means bad news for me (and sadly for all of us).
No low level MIDI stuff in SDK, well, but there might be some in Scope DP? 'cause some plugs already deal with MIDI (I remember one made by Celmo).

it's the same - you can deal with midi of course, but on a level that's definetely NOT professional. Shifting bits in this system is eating up DSPs for breakfast. Check the struggles in the developer forum...

or the DSP load a simple sequencer generates

cheers, tom

oups, I forgot the development forum...
I should have posted there.
Anyway, thanks for taking time to answer.
I think I will sign for a SDK, at least to have a look at tit and see if I can do anything with it.
