Chapter 4: System-Parameters 19
4 System-Parameters
4.1 Overview
System-parameters are parameters just like algorithm-parameters except that they apply to the DSP-
card as such or perhaps to the entire M5000 frame. Each slot has it’s own standard set of parameters,
such as Bypass, but care must be taken, because the parameters have the same numbers in all the
slots. It is the slot# that distinguishes between the parameters, not the actual parameter-number.

4.3 VU-Meters
Even though the M5000 front-panel VU-meters only have 10 segments, the meter-information is in
fact far more detailed. The SYSMETERL and SYSMETERR parameters contain the actual meter-
readout in 1/8 dB steps, which is why steps must be taken to produce a useable meter.
4.3.1 Communication
The meters must be polled manually by your software at 1/25 second intervals. You may choose to
poll at a lower rate, although a higher rate won’t result in any improvement. It is recommended that
you poll both the left- and right meters in the same request-packet in order to minimize MIDI-traffic.
The M5000 cannot guarantee to reply with the meters in the same packet, although the packets will
be very close in time. For this reason, your software should be able to handle the left- and right
channels separately.
