SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE CONTROL FREAK
Details of the Control Freak
STUDIO EDITION
System Exclusive Specification
The first five bytes of the Freak’s own SysEx messages are common to all data types.
N.B. the h suffix means hexadecimal
[ 1 ] 0F0h – Begin SysEx command
[ 2 ] 00h – Company ident first byte
[ 3 ] 20h – Company ident second byte
[ 4 ] 13h – Company ident third byte
[ 5 ] 09h – Product code – Control Freak Studio (16 slider)
64 byte Single data dump
F0h, 00h, 20h, 13h, 09h, 40h, prog_num , slider_num , data........data, F7h
where prog_num is a (decimal) number between 0 and 127
where slider_num is as follows (decimal) :
0 – 15 Sliders 1 to 16
16 – 31 Button-on 1 to 16
32 – 47 Button-off 1 to 16
48 – 55 Function key-on 1 to 8
64 – 71 Function key-off 1 to 8
96 – 103 Program (all 8 values return the same program data)
112 – 119 Global (all 8 values return the same global data)
data...data 64 bytes of data sent low 4 bits, then high 4 bits, so 128 bytes are actually sent.
data bytes will have their high 4 bits set to zero – i.e. 0000LLLL , 0000HHHH
n.b. values must always be sent even if not required – i.e. prog_num for function keys
64k Block data dump
F0h, 00h, 20h, 13h, 09h, 50h, block_num , data........data , checksum_lo , checksum_hi , F7h
where block_num is as follows (decimal)
0
All Slider data (data from all 1024 sliders – 64 x 16)
1 All Button-on data
2 All Button-off data
3 All Program data/Funtion keys-on/off/Global
data...data 64k bytes of data sent low 4 bits, then high 4 bits, so 128k bytes are
actually sent.
Data bytes will have their high 4 bits set to zero – i.e. 0000LLLL , 0000HHHH
checksum_lo/hi 14 bit additive checksum sent as 2 bytes each having bit 7=0
so original data – 00HHHHHH LLLLLLLL is sent as 0LLLLLLL, 0HHHHHHL
64k Library data dump
F0h, 00h, 20h, 13h, 09h, 60h, library_num , data........data , checksum_lo , checksum_hi , F7h
as above except library_num can be 0 or 1 only to select library 1 or 2.
256k All 64 programs data dump – inc function keys & global (approx 293k sent)
F0h, 00h, 20h, 13h, 09h, 50h, 70h, data........data , F7h
256k bytes of data are sent in a packed format where every 7 bytes of 8 bit data are sent as 8
bytes of 7 bit data.The 7 MSBs are sent in the first byte and the following 7 bytes are the original 7
bytes sent with their MSB set to zero. Can be used to clone Freaks.
3136 byte Complete Program dump
program data + 16 sliders +16 button-on +16 button-off ( =49x64)
F0h, 00h, 20h, 13h, 09h, 70h, prog_num , data........data , F7h
where prog_num is a (decimal) number between 0 and 127
data...data 3136 bytes of data sent low 4 bits, then high 4 bits, so 6272 bytes are actually sent.
data bytes will have their high 4 bits set to zero – i.e. 0000LLLL , 0000HHHH
