Re: Protocol documentation updated

My mistake got the $a in the wrong position and chose
a bad example (play).

00 18 $a etc is limited for the following commands 

Power
Eject 
Rehersal mode part 1
Rehersal mode part 2
divide audio tracks 
combine audio tracks
Record new track
config source plug 
config dest plug

$a IS a byte but for these commands its LS bit is
always
zero. 


If you could send me the snapshot of freemd I'd
appreciate it.

Cheers
