Title: Streaming purple text
Post by raytclark on Jun 11^th, 2002, 11:57am

I think I read this already, but, now I can't find where. I am using a Kurzweil K1000 keyboard (vintage '88) as input and creating sysex files ,but , too, often the monitor screens start stearming purple text. The panic button doesn't stop the bleeding, I just shut down the program. (I have both input and Output monitor open at the same time.) Lots of different things seem to start the problem. Often input at the synth side. Hope that's an acurate description. Thanks in advance for your help, awesome product!

I haven't got a clue? ??? What does this purple text say? If it's streaming too fast to mark and copy to the clipboard, then turn on logging and capture some of it.

Input and output monitors read identical information:

0000BFC0 1 90 48 30 1 C 5 Note On
0000BFCD 1 90 41 28 1 F 4 Note On
0000C055 1 80 48 2F 1 C 5 Note Off
0000C070 1 80 41 28 1 F 4 Note Off
0000C534 1 C0 09 -- 1 -- PC: Glockenspiel
0000C548 1 C0 09 -- 1 -- PC: Glockenspiel
0000C555 1 C0 09 -- 1 -- PC: Glockenspiel
0000C566 1 C0 09 -- 1 -- PC: Glockenspiel
0000C56B 1 C0 09 -- 1 -- PC: Glockenspiel
0000C576 1 C0 09 -- 1 -- PC: Glockenspiel

I pushed the program up button on the synth to get this. The line with the PC: Glockenspiel is in purple and is where the streaming starts.

I have some Sysex info from Kurzweil that involves handshaking but it ask questions like dst-ID, syncN, src_Id, xSpeed, nPacks, and Psize with the note (a 14 bit value sent as two seven bit values).

I hope that helps. Many thanks for your quick responce!

It would appear that your Synth is issuing the same Program change message over and over. This is a standard (non-SysEx) MIDI message. The next time it happens try turning the Synth off and it should stop -- the power cycle should clear the stream. Perhaps there is a way to reinitialize the Synth to "cure" it. If your synth continues to do this you may need to get it serviced, or at least avoid using the program change switches.
