SysEx, or MIDI System Exclusive, is definitely an advanced MIDI topic – beyond Note Ons, Note Offs, and ModWheels. It takes a little know-how, a proper setup, and some patience to get it to work as you would hope in most cases. Getting Started with SysEx jump starts backups and loading new sounds.
In our Getting Started with SysEx PDF, we walk you through definitions, tools, connections and add step-by-step instructions to get SysEx messages back and forth to your synths. We start with backup of your current sounds to loading in new sound banks from the web (there are tens of thousands of them).
At SoundEngine, we’ve worked over the years in the design and firmware development of synthesizers at Sequential, Peavey, and Ensoniq, and our Getting Started with SysEx guide holds the knowledge we’ve gained over the years, and we want to share with you. We break down working with SysEx in small, easy-to-digest bites.
