How and where did this 15 digit printed hex number come from? Show the code that produced it along with the assignment statement and then it might be possible to answer the next question. It's just possibly the
pointer to the string.

If its a
pointer value then OSCII-bot or the midi controller won't need to use the pointer directly. The pointer just tells the EEL run time system
where to find the actual bytes that make the string.
Please spend some time researching how mutable and/or immutable strings can be stored in a computer's memory and data structures for more common programming language than (arcane) EEL. Try this
https://www.interviewcake.com/articl...ding-interview? Look at computer science learning stuff, youtube? Find material that suits your learning style beyond reading text?
Try and understand the difference and yet inter-connected relationships between characters, bytes in memory, strings and pointers.
The majority of high level languages in common use today hide pointers from programmers. But EEL has a C/C++ like heritage and it is still using pointers for strings and in the programmer's use of arrays.
