determined by the current control value and limited by the Low Value and High Value settings. The format of the

sysex message is fixed such that the second-to-last byte is always the variable byte and the last byte is always the

checksum byte (excluding the F7 byte).

If an encoder has DispType set to 0-16K then the options for DataType are as follows:

NONE – Sysex message does not contain a variable byte and a fixed message is sent every time the

control is operated.

LSB-MSB - Sysex message contains two variable bytes that form a MSB and LSB pair, allowing a 14-bit value to

be transmitted. The LSB precedes the MSB in the sysex message. The two bytes cannot be separated by non-

variable bytes but the position of the pair of bytes in the message can be edited.

MSB-LSB – This is the same as LSB-MSB except the MSB precedes the LSB in the sysex string.

ROLAND - Sysex message contains two variable bytes and one checksum byte. The format of the message is fixed

such that the last three bytes of the string are always MSB, then LSB and then checksum (excluding the F7 byte).

DataPsn (Data Position): This allows you to set the position of the variable data byte(s) in the sysex message. This value

will automatically be constrained by the Length setting. Note that if DataType is set to ROLAND then this value will be fixed,

as the format of ROLAND sysex messages cannot be edited.

To edit the value of each of the non-variable bytes in the sysex message, press PAGE UP twice to access the sysex message

page. All bytes are displayed in hexadecimal format. By default, the SL Compact will place an F0h at the start and F7h at

the end of the message and set all other non-variable bytes to 00h. Variable bytes appear as 'DV' and a checksum byte will

appear as 'CS' - these cannot be edited.

To edit a byte, use the buttons or encoders in line with the '<<' and '>>' symbols to navigate the cursor to the desired byte

and then use the buttons or encoder in line with 'VALUE' to set the value (range 00 to 7F). Press PAGE DOWN twice after

editing the sysex message to return to the control settings.
