Thanks, Malte. From the source of contrOSC, looks like the SYSEX
to write to the LCD is

  F0 00 00 66 17 dn dc chr ... F7

where
- dn is the number of the display to write to (30 = top display ~
  33 = bottom display),
- dc is the first character position to write to (supposedly 0 =
  first character of top line ~ 109 = last character of bottom
  line),
- chr is the ASCII code of a character to write to the display.

Did Mackie document this ? Or did you reverse engineer it ?
