So I’m wanting to use an iPad and send midi signals to the Nautilus via Unrealbook app.

I realize that all signals on Unrealbook are to be expressed in hex (I can deal with that) but what I don’t know is what the valid bank addresses are.

I took a look at the parameter guide and the MIDI implementation and frankly I am not sure how to interpret them.

What is the range of possible combinations to send for programs and the range to send for combis?

If I wanted, say, Italian Grand Piano, what is the address I should communicate to the Nautilus? Is it A001 but expressed as hex? Is there any header information to send as well that would ensure the Nautilus responds to it?

Also: Can you get the Nautilus to jump to a combi or program from Unrealbook without having to touch anything on the Nautilus?

I resorted to AI, LOL...

Here's the response (using "Eleanor Rigby Strings" as an example). I hope this helps someone:

"To send MSB and LSB values for bank H 051 "Eleanor Rigby Strings" on the Korg Nautilus, you would need to convert the bank number to MSB and LSB values in hexadecimal format. Bank H corresponds to decimal value 72, which is represented in hexadecimal as "48".

Here is the message to select bank H 051 "Eleanor Rigby Strings" on the Korg Nautilus, using MSB and LSB values in hexadecimal format:

B0 00 00 ( selects MIDI channel 1 )
B0 00 20 ( sets the MSB for bank select to 0 )
B0 20 48 ( sets the LSB for bank select to 48 )
C0 00 ( sends a program change message to select the first program in the bank )

In this message, the "B0" prefix indicates a control change message on MIDI channel 1, while the "C0" prefix indicates a program change message on the same channel. The "00" in the second byte is the control change number for bank select MSB, and the "20" in the third byte is the control change number for bank select LSB. The "48" in the fourth byte is the value to set the LSB for bank H. The "00" in the program change message is the program number to select within the specified bank.

When programming this message in a PDF, you would need to specify the MSB and LSB values for the bank select message in hexadecimal format, as shown above."

I’m curious, did the AI get it right for you in this instance?

For the laugh I threw your post right now into GPT and it gave me an answer I knew was wrong by reading it’s explanation. So asked it to check that answer as it looks wrong and it agreed it was incorrect. It then gave me a second answer I could tell was always wrong.

Kind regards
Sharp.
