Title: How to send "raw data" via SysEx ??
Post by samulasun on Aug 22^nd, 2005, 2:30am

Hello all,
I am new here. I try to send some data to my
special midi device. I have a text file and I simply modified
the sub-filename to *.syx. The content of this file looks like
this: "50 20 30 20 34 0D 0A". I think I should send
"F0 50 20 30 20 34 0D 0A F7" to SysEx. But I do know how
to change my original file to specific sysex file.
Is there anyone could tell me how to send "raw data" to my
external device?
Thanks
Regards

Well .SYX files are NOT text files, they are raw binary files. If they were text they'd probably have a .TXT extension.

In MIDI-OX SysEx View, after choosing Load File... you can change the file filter to text files (Files of Type: Text (*.txt)).

Alternatively, if you want to use a TEXT file, load it into NotePad, choose Edit | Select All and then Edit | Copy. In MIDI-OX SysEx view choose Display Window | Paste... Now you should be able to Send... or Save... it.
