-
- I use Bars & Pipes Pro 2.5 (which is free on Compuserve)
-
- B&Pipes loads sysex through an accesory called BigSys, it will load raw SysEx
- files so to convert a message do the following
-
- All Midi SysEx dump packets begin with 'f0' and end with 'F7'
-
- Load up a hex editor (File X is a good one)
-
- Remove the Octamed header. ie. any bytes before the first F0
-
- save file and import into B&Pipes.
-
-
- B&Pipes also will store SYSEX messages in a track as other sequencers will so
- the best way to exchange SYSEX between various sequencers is to store the
- SYSEX in a track as save as a midi file.
-
- It may not be possible to add your own header to a raw sysex message as some
- headers also store the length of the message in hex.
