MIDI messages question

[chaocrator]

making a PreenFM2 template for my NRPN-capable hardware MIDI controller, i encountered the following issue.

midi messages manual says:

LFO <n> Shape              MSB = 1   LSB = 40 + n*4       where 1 <= n <= 3

which results: 40+1*4 = 44 for LFO1, 40 + 2*4 = 48 for LFO2, and 40 + 3*4 = 52 for LFO 3
but according to the manual,

Free Env1 Attack           MSB = 1   LSB = 52

same for

LFO <n> Freqency           MSB = 1   LSB = 41 + n*4       where 1 <= n <= 3

results: 41+1*4 = 45 for LFO1, 41 + 2*4 = 49 for LFO2, and 41 + 3*4 = 53 for LFO 3
but according to the manual,

Free Env1 Decay            MSB = 1   LSB = 53

same for

LFO <n> Bias               MSB = 1   LSB = 42 + n*4       where 1 <= n <= 3

results: 42+1*4 = 46 for LFO1, 42 + 2*4 = 50 for LFO2, and 42 + 3*4 = 54 for LFO 3
but according to the manual,

Free Env1 Sustain          MSB = 1   LSB = 54

and same for

LFO <n> Key Sync           MSB = 1   LSB = 43 + n*4       where 1 <= n <= 3

results: 43+1*4 = 47 for LFO1, 43 + 2*4 = 51 for LFO2, and 43 + 3*4 = 55 for LFO 3
but according to the manual,

Free Env1 Release          MSB = 1   LSB = 55

so, the question is: where's the error ?
thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for your message. I fixed the errors.

LFO <n> : NRPN LSB should use (n-1) in the formula instead of n.

Let me know if you find other errors.

theoretically, no other errors at the moment.
anyway, this week i will test every single parameter input one by one, so i'll let you know if something will not work as expected.

yet another question is how the values of parameters like IM or A, D, S, R are actually calculated.
i'm trying to understand whether i should send those values as 7-bit or as 14-bit.

For all NRPN floating point params : the forumla is :

Code: [Select]

            valueToSend = (floatValue - param->minValue) * 100.0f + .1f ; // minValue if the minimal value authorized for the param (-1.0; 0.0...).
            cc.value[0] = 6;
            cc.value[1] = (unsigned char) (valueToSend >> 7);
            sendMidiCCOut(&cc, false);
            cc.value[0] = 38;
            cc.value[1] = (unsigned char) (valueToSend & 127);
            sendMidiCCOut(&cc, false);

IF the minimal value of the param is 0.0 which is the case for ADSR.
The NRPN 14 bits value is the time in 1/100th of seconds.

If you use CC you cannot send all values :
https://github.com/Ixox/preenfm2/blob/master/src/midi/MidiDecoder.cpp#L477
The param will be value/64 in sec for A, and /32 for R.

thanks for the answer.

If you use CC you cannot send all values

that's why i preferred NRPNs from the start, since my controller (Novation ReMOTE Zero SL) is capable of handling them.
