I believe it’s important to specify what OS version your results worked. For example, the Live Set bank selection using 0D 02 in version 3.00 on the MODX M yields “illegal dump data”! 07 09 worked on my MODX Plus. In my initial testing of my MODX M both when it came out of the box and after applying the first OS Update I used 06 09 and I believe that worked. However, I can’t go back to that version now because it’s not available to download again so I could verify what I just said.  Help Please!  I would really like to use my new keyboard one week from Friday.  Thanks.  Pete

Show us: WHAT you do and HOW you do it.

For example, the Live Set bank selection using 0D 02 in version 3.00 on the MODX M yields “illegal dump data”!

That '0D 02' won't work because you need to provide 4 address bytes and 1 data byte and the remaining structure needs to match the format shown on p.214 of the data list doc in table (3-5-3-1).

This command works fine on a Montage M8X to set the live set bank to the preset bank.

F0 43 10 7F 1C 0D 02 00 00 00 00 F7

Note that the '0D' is the model ID of the Montage M8X and that the Modx M OS 3.0 now uses that SAME model ID.

What appeared to work before I updated to 3.00 was the following:

F0 43 10 7F 1C 06 09 00 00 02 F7. Where the bank is #2.  Just 11 characters.

are you saying it should be 12 charaters long using 0D 02?

This can be closed.  The answer is the SysEx command to select a specific Live Set Bank on the MODX M has gone from 11 total characters to 12 and its content is exactly like the Montage M series and finally looks like this:

F0 43 10 7F 1C 0D 02 00 00 00 xx F7 where xx is:

00 = Factory Preset Bank

01 thru 08 = User Live Set Banks

09 thru the Library Limit.  Note: if a library has been deleted the bank will exist but be empty?  I say that because I had more than three libraries on my backup, but now only have three.  Guessing that version 3.00 dropped libraries, but allocated the space anyway.

No problem - You can mark your own threads 'Solved' when they have been.
