Case study

Tonebook: decoding NanoCore preset SysEx commands

Tonebook documents and implements MIDI control of the LIVTRA NanoCore guitar pedal from a browser. Its protocol notes map the documented control messages and observed SysEx framing used by the vendor app to name and save presets. The site applies song tones, adjusts parameters live, and stores presets on the pedal after confirmation.
