How to process Bulk Midi messages

In version 5.6.35 there will be a way to send MIDI via a modulator or component Property.
This code has always been in Ctrlr but was incomplete.

• EncodeNormal= Single 7bit byte 0-127
• EncodeMSBFirst=7-bit: MSB, LSB
• EncodeLSBFirst=7-bit: LSB, MSB
• EncodeNibbleMsbFirst= 4-bit: MSB nibble, LSB nibble (unsigned)
• EncodeNibbleLsbFirst= 4-bit: LSB nibble, MSB nibble (unsigned)
• EncodeSignedNibbleMsbFirst= 4-bit: MSB nibble, LSB nibble (signed int8)
• EncodeSignedNibbleLsbFirst=4-bit: LSB nibble, MSB nibble (signed int8)

•   Encode16bitLsbFirst=4bit *4
  

•   Encode16bitMsbFirst=4bit *4
  

Example - SEND

panel:getModulatorValuesAsData(CUSTINDEX, CtrlrPanel.EncodeNormal, 1, false) -- non mapped
panel:getModulatorValuesAsData(CUSTINDEX, CtrlrPanel.EncodeNormal, 1, true) --mapped
panel:getModulatorValuesAsData(CUSTINDEX, CtrlrPanel.EncodeNibbleLsbFirst, 1, true) --lsb/msb two byte 4 bit nibble

Example - RECEIVE (Where Header is 5 bytes in length)

panel:setModulatorValuesFromData(midi:getData(), "modulatorCustomIndex", CtrlrPanel.EncodeMSBFirst,-5, 2, false)
panel:setModulatorValuesFromData(midi:getData(), "modulatorCustomIndex", CtrlrPanel.EncodeNormal,-5, 1, false)
panel:setModulatorValuesFromData(midi:getData(), "modulatorCustomIndex", CtrlrPanel.EncodeSignedNibbleMsbFirst, -54, 2, false)

(1) Create table of modulators in sysex dump order

listOfModulators = {
    "lfoDelay",
    "lfoRate",
    "VCF Resonance",
    "VCF Cutoff",
    "Delay"
}

List all modulators here in order of sysex message data position

(2) Fill modulatorCustomIndex with values

• You can also create your own custom modulator
• Here we will create a new property "CUSTINDEX"
• Run this in the console editor

    local t = listOfModulators
    for i, v in ipairs(t) do
        panel:getModulatorByName(v):setProperty("CUSTINDEX", tostring(i - 1), false)
    end

(2) Remove custom index (UNDO)

• You can completely remove the custom index you created

    local t = listOfModulators
    for i, v in ipairs(t) do
        panel:getModulatorByName(v):removeProperty("CUSTINDEX")
    end

(3) Send the bulk MIDI message.

Create a (GLOBAL) header string and an EOX string

HEADER ="F0 41 00 00 11"
EOX ="F7"

    local data = panel:getModulatorValuesAsData("CUSTINDEX", CtrlrPanel.EncodeNormal, 1, false)  
    panel:sendMidiMessageNow(CtrlrMidiMessage(string.format("%s %s %s",HEADER,data:toHexString(1),EOX)))

(4) Receive a MIDI message

Create a method in Called when a panel receives a MIDI message

    local headerSize=MemoryBlock(HEADER):getSize()
	panel:setModulatorValuesFromData(midi:getData(), "CUSTINDEX", CtrlrPanel.EncodeNormal,-headerSize, 1, false)

• Note that headerSize = headerSize*-1
• The last argument of these methods when changed to true reads/writes mapped values
