FCB1010 SysEx file organization

The MIDI Memory Dump sent by the FCB1010 is in a particular format

that first needs to be decoded before being used (editor). A challenge is
presented by the fact that the internal memory format is in 8-bit width
(1 byte), yet it has to be transmitted via MIDI in 7-bit width. Which byte in
the SysEx File carries what information is explained below:

1. First byte 0xF0 SysEx Start

2. Three bytes Behringer ID (0x00,0x20,0x32)
3. One byte global channel
4. One byte device ID (0x0C for FCB1010)
5. One byte as a function byte 0x0F
6. Data packages with 8 bytes each in packed form
The MSBits in the transmitted bytes are always zero (MIDI).
Therefore, the MSBits of the first 7 bytes are collected and are
transmitted in the 8th byte.

Byte 0

Byte 1

Byte 2

Byte 3

Byte 4

Byte 5

Byte 6

Byte 7

MSB Byte 0

MSB Byte 1

MSB Byte 2

MSB Byte 3
MSB Byte 4
MSB Byte 5
MSB Byte 6

The MSBits from byte 7 have to be entered into the corresponding

positions of the bytes 0 through 6, and then linearly stored. A
complete image of the FCB1010 memory emerges, whereby the
addresses 0x000 through 0x640 are filled with preset data.

7. Last byte 0xF7 SysEx End

note

If the MSBit of a status byte is set, then this MIDI function in the preset is not used! Valid for
addresses ending with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, c, f

Proceed analogously with the remaining presets, all the way to

preset 99 (Bank 9, Button 10)

The MIDI channels for individual MIDI functions are globally stored
at addresses 0x7e0 through 0x7e9.
