Midi-Mode should support SysEx messages
I've connected my 30yrs old Yamaha MU50 XG to Komplete Audio 6 via Midi Out and 1/2 in. Works nicely with my S88 Mk2. The midi-mode editor in Komplete Kontrol is very nice and lets me use some knobs and buttons to set some GM values.
I would love to set the device into XG or Roland GS mode with the push of a button and change some values with knobs. I've read a post about using a tool to intercept the midi messages from S88 (e.g. a value for CC 17) and translate it into a SysEx. But I think if the Midi-Mode Temlate Editor in Komplete Kontrol and it's underlying logic could be modified so that you could define an arbitrary byte array by the push of a button (e.g. F0 43 10 4C 00 00 7E 00 F7 to enable XG mode) or when turning a knob you could also inject the value of the knob - also supporting MSB and LSB splitting of a value (e.g. F0 43 10 27 30 00 00 mm ll 00 F7) or using the value of more than one knob in a SysEx Msg (e.g. F0 43 10 27 30 00 00 k1 k2 00 F7)
It would also be great if you could not only specify a range of values for the knobs but also an array of possible values (e.g. 0, 64, 127) and a default value.

I can't see that being needed enough to be a priority, although it's a good idea! The tool you mentioned is probably a MIDI Solutions Event Processor, which is actually a really useful addition if you have a live rig. I've had one for years and it still gets used.

Thanks for your reply. I'll look for a software solution.
Maybe a NI-dev finds some time to implement it on a lazy day ;)
