Chapter 1: Introduction 2
The Device# must correspond with the Device# set for the M5000 frame.
The Card# refers to the ID of each consecutive DSP-card or layer. A value of 1 refers to the first
DSP-card and a value of 2 refers to the second DSP-card. A value of 0 is only used in certain
operations that refer to the entire M5000 frame.
The Packet-type signifies the type of packet. Each individual request and dump has it’s own unique
packet-type. The following packet-types are transmitted and/or recognized by the M5000:
$00 Set parameter(s)
$01 Request parameter(s)
$02 Recall Preset
$03 Request Preset Info
$04 Request System Configuration Info
$05 Preset Info
The M5000 is very tolerant about incomplete or erroneous sysex-packets, but it is still recommended
that you keep your packets clean with all values within range. The M5000 allows packet-sizes of any
size (which is relevant for requesting a large number of parameters), though you need to obey the
precautions regarding the parameter-queue as described in the next chapter.
