Triggers >>> Outputting SYSEX via Custom #1, 2, 3

[musiclee]

So trying out this great software
Programming the triggers
Using external Akai controller
Programming Pads to send SYSEX to hardware
Via Cantabile triggers >> Sysex
Using custom events 1, 2, 3. Etc

Problem is I can't enter Values as Hex which I think is standard for sysex

I'm having to convert all Hex to Decimal

So instead of typing in:
F0 26 7C 03 2A 7F F7
(which Cantabile gives error)

I have to use a table to convert and have to type in:
240 38 124 3 42 127 247

Is this the way it has to be done?
It seems tedious
I'd much rather type in sysex in Hex
Which is format sysex ex is usually in

Anyone ???

Thanks so much

i guess nobody here uses Triggers to send Sysex?
maybe i'm missing something, but converting to decimal seems bit odd to me,
being that SysEx is always in "F0 2A 7C 03 2A 7F F7" type format, in HEX

any help would be GREATLY appreciated

here is a handy table for those who need to input sysex into Cantabile
as it oddly seems only Decimal format is allowed:

I emailed Brad on this and
He was nice enough to get back to me
even though I haven't purchased yet , on demo

he said:
" you can enter Hex numbers
into Cantabile's MIDI sysex trigger,
but you need to prefix each byte with "0x".  
eg:  0x10 0xFF 0x24 -
that should save you from having to manually convert..."


So guess that's cool,
just gotta type in few more characters
maybe next version , if there ever is one, will allow without the "0x"

Interesting findings.

I doubt there will be an update to go for hex as default input - the current formats exactly match the way programming languages interpret number string literals - hence your desire would need a special treatment.

I agree that this is probably not user friendly enough as it is not what's normally expected...

Did Brad comment on "fixing" this issue?...
