The MIDI editors
The display shows the entire message on one or several
lines. SysEx messages always begin with F0 and end with
F7 with a number of arbitrary bytes in between. If the mes
-
sage contains more bytes than fit on one line, it continues
on the next. The Address indication to the left helps you
find out on which position in the message a certain value
resides.
You can edit all values except for the first (F0) and last one
(F7).
Selecting and viewing values
To select a value, either click on it or use the cursor keys.
The selected byte is displayed in various formats:
• In the main display, values are shown in hexadecimal format.
• To the right of this, values are shown in ASCII format.
• At the bottom of the dialog, the selected value is shown in
ASCII, binary, and decimal formats.
Editing a value
The selected value can be edited directly in the main dis-
play or in the ASCII, decimal, and binary displays. Just
click on it and type in the desired value as usual.
Adding and deleting bytes
Using the Insert and Delete buttons or their corresponding
computer keyboard keys, you can add and delete bytes
from the message. Inserted data will appear before the se-
lection.
• To delete the complete SysEx message, select it in the
controller lane and press [Delete] or [Backspace].
Importing and exporting data
The Import and Export buttons allow you to get SysEx data
from disk and to export the edited data to a file. The file
has to be in “MIDI SysEx” (.syx) binary format. Only the
first dump in a SYX file will be loaded.
Ö Do not confuse this format with MIDI files, which have
the extension .mid.
