I have spent hours on hours trying things out and just cannot seem to get it right. I am sending Sysex with Midi-Ox, and just want the push to say something as simple as "Hi". I am not spending another hour in frustration over this please help!

Ableton won't give me any info on anything related to the push, nor will Akai. I tried the max pach, and I don't even understand how to run it. I am new to all this, all I really wan't to do is use Sysex to write something cool on the LCD. Please!!
This is the sysex format: 240 71 127 21 {line} 0 69 0 {ASCII char1} {ASCII char2} ... {ASCII char68} 247

"the value of the {line} byte is:
24 for line 1 of the LCD
25 for line 2
26 for line 3
27 for line 4"

So to write the first display's characters line you need to replace {line} by 24

Then include the 68 characters on the line after 0 69 0.

So for example to "say" "HI" you should send to Push Live Port:

240 71 127 21 24 0 69 0 72 73 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 32 247

72 73 = H I, and 32 = space
