Software in 2019: 100MB download that is the *download tool*, not the software itself. I don't even.

Oh, right. It's written in Java. And includes a full JRE *and* a WebKit implementation. Then the actual software to be installed is 15GB.

I literally don't have 15GB free on this machine. Good thing I'm in the middle of an incidental SSD swap-a-roo that will fix this... But sigh. And the only reason I need Cubase is to reverse engineering the DAW Remote MIDI commands of the Yamaha MX because they're undocumented.

Oh great, the actual software is 256MB and the rest of the 15GB are bullshit extras.

And of *course* I had to spend half an hour looking through support articles and end up having to download a 50MB "repair tool" because their obnoxious licensing setup is broken and doesn't work out of the box.

Looks like there aren't really any magic input MIDI messages, and most everything that matters is what the Yamaha editor (not Cubase) uses. I did however realize that some buttons send *HID keypress events* instead MIDI messages...

And the only reason those didn't work on Linux is because that HID interface is part of USB config #2 (which also includes a Yamaha needlessly-vendor-specific USB audio iface) and the default #1 is only standard USB audio and no HID. A quick udev rule fixed that.

Looks like there are at least a few useful undocumented sysex msgs, for VSTi control presets. F0 43 10 7F 17 01 [30-3B] 21 [8 ASCII chars] [decoupled flag 01/00] [value 00-7F] F7 sets the value text and value indicator status for a control.

And F0 43 10 7F 01 [30-3B] 09 [24 ASCII chars] F7 sets the label for a control (only 8 chars visible each). This stuff could be handy to abuse for generic status display.

Sí, venía con el teclado, y la integración con el Yamaha parece ser la más completa. Solo me interesa reversar el protocolo. La mayoría del control en dirección al PC es evidente observando los mensajes MIDI, pero me interesa el feedback.

15GB well spent.

Will you stream how you do this ? I'd be interested in learning how to RE an undocumented protocol.

I'm already done with most of what I wanted to do. It's MIDI-based, I just Googled how to get a MIDI loopback on windows and monitor it, then the format of the messages was pretty obvious.https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1087470308078977025 …
