Title: How to send a SysEx Request Program Dump message to certain midi channel
Post by: sigkey on July 15, 2021, 01:33:01 PM
Hey all! I'm trying to figure out how I can get my Prophet XL to respond to Request Program Dump messages when the MIDI Channel is set to anything except 'all' in the global menu.

If the MIDI Channel is set to 'all', I get a response. But I don't get a response if I change it to any other MIDI channel. I'd hope this would be possible, but I'm not sure how to include the MIDI channel in the Request Program Dump message.

I'm making a UWP app, and am sending messages using the Windows MIDI API (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.devices.midi?view=winrt-20348).

Does anyone know how I can get a response when the synth is set to a particular MIDI channel?

Replying in case anyone in the future makes the same erroneous assumption as I, and finds themselves here:
Sysex messages do not support MIDI channel numbers.
This might be why a manufacturer & model Id are required in Sysex messages.
