SysX Messages
There are different types of SysX messages.
Messages sent from the computer:
-
requesting the synthesizer to send data (dump request),
-
sending patch settings to a synthesizer,
- transmit wave data to a sampler,
- sending live changes for only one setting (deprecated, however the MKS-50 works like this)
Messages that are sent from the synth:
- current patch settings (so called sysx dumps)
- button movements
It is a great way to make patch backups of a synth that does not contain that much memory.
The sequence of a sysx message is usually like this:
| F0 |
Start of SysX |
| xx |
MIDI Manufacturer ID [01..7F]
New 3-byte ID's are of the sequence "00 xx xx" |
| xx ... |
Command (like "request patch data" or "patch data dump") |
| xx ... |
Data sequence |
| F7 |
End of SysX |
The original 1-byte Manufacturer ID's.
