Once you have defined that parameter object, it will allow you to automate the parameter on a curve track, without worrying about the SysEx message format.

I am not sure what you mean with the above quote so I will now go peruse the wiki 🙂

Take a look at this chapter:
http://www.zynewave.com/wiki/doku.php?id=guide:parameters#system_exclusive_messages

If you have defined parameter objects for the SysEx part volume messages, then these SysEx messages are handled like any normal MIDI control change message. This means that when you record the SysEx messages, they are not recorded as stream events, but as curve suquences or parameter events with a value dial on them, depending on how you have set the “record as curve sequence…” option in the parameter properties. Then it’s just a matter of editing the curve or adjusting the parameter event dials to set your part levels. Podium will do the SysEx formatting during playback. You will need to do a bit of work to set up the parameter objects, but once done, it will make everything else easier.

If the configuration of parameter objects seem too complex for your needs, then I can be persuaded to implement simple editing of short SysEx stream events.

By the way, I could send a midi file if it would help to highlight what I am trying to achieve.

Please do.

You should take a look at the “composite” track option. It’s designed for multi-take recording. Mike G wrote a section in the guide about it:

Sorry for not participating in this thread sooner. I have a hard time imagining how this would work. If it is to be a true reversal of the signal flow, then I see lots of conflicts. I guess there should be a group track option called perhaps “reverse signal flow” or “route output to child tracks”. What happens with the audio when it reaches the bottom of the hierarchy? Does it hyperspace up to the group track above the reversed flow track to continue its way up to the master? And what if you have a group track further up the chain which is also reversed?

A simpler solution would be to have a group track option like “ghost play on child tracks”. This will not do any reversal of the flow, but instead automatically replicate the events placed on the group track on all the lanes of the child tracks. The events on the group track would then be muted of course. The events on the group track would be drawn semi-transparently on the child tracks.
