Add more parameters to Sys Ex Send

[skuven]

hi

i’m toying around with behringer xtouch mappings between different software. Utilising the sys ex send actor i can remap the text of the channel strips on the control surface. The problem is there are only 9 parameters max on that plugin but I want 15 or so. I was going to look at javascripting it somehow. Any solve?

thanks

This isn't really my wheelhouse, but is it possible to send 9 parameters on port 1 to your destination and then the remaining 6 channels to it on port 2?

@DusX any thoughts about the Javascript approach?  Or maybe Pythoner can be used to send 15 parameters of Sys Ex messages?

JavaScript can't help. But Pythoner could offer a solution I am sure.

I can also enter a feature request to extend the actor. Truthfully though that won't be a high priority item, although it might be pretty easy.

@woland No I don't think that will help as the ports pertain to what midi device you're connecting to. Inside the sysex actor is a script you have to write, then you insert perameter values using 'P1'  'P2' etc. There are workarounds where I trigger specific sys ex actors with some characters pre determined. 

It would be a great feature to be able to put way more parameters into these actors generally. Same with the text formatter actor
