At0mic asked me to post the chart proper here but I haven't got a clue as to how to do it.
So I'm bringing you a link instead:
http://www.cookwood.com/cookwood/html4_ ... chart.html
It is very useful when working with Sysex messages.
Cheers!
Paul

Alternatively use the Calculator in Windows in 'Scientific' view. This will switch between decimal, hex, octal and binary.

I've been using Paul's chart for long, and find it very helpfull, ie. when creating Pc1600x presets. I'm sure more people will find a use for it!
...or a larger one
here.
Thanks again Paul, your chart saved me loads of time
By head works too: Get the amount of times 16 in a whole goes in the number you want to convert, that's the first part, and add the rest.
For example: 100= 96+4= 6x16 + 4 = 64[Hex]
or: 95= 80+15= 5x16 + 15= 5F[Hex]
Long strings of sysex code -for example take a look at the Pc1600x presets on my homepage. I've written more than double of presets that the Pc1600x can contain.
Let's say... 100 presets x (16 faders + 16 buttons) =3200 MIDI strings. I'm very happy Paul sent me this chart! I printed the chart and ever since, I use it for every day MIDI programming
Anyways, I hope you don't have to get headaches calculating hexadecimal numbers any more

p.s. Nice hand-writing Paul !

First column are decimal numbers
Second column are Hexadecimal numbers
Third column are equivalent characters(used when writing text in certain synths)
That should have been specified. I'm glad you asked, Mr Swim.

Or open Windows calculator and click View -> Scientific.
For Dec to Hex:
click Dec
type the number
click Hex
For Hex to Dec:
Do it backwards
