I would like new load and save sysex files components.
The output/input could be a string array with hexadecimal values.
Those would be useful with other non-text files.
Thank you.
Loading and saving sysex files

I want to give this topic a big BUMP.
I'm currently doing the finishing touches for a patch loader/manager for my Kawai K5000 Synthesizer and it would be a big plus if I coud save/load patch dumps to/from sysex files, sounddiver lib files, etc...
As jemap suggested loading/saving to/from String Arrays using the pseudo-hex representation of SM's sysex modules would be sufficient.
(Furthermore this could also be used to load/save from/to any binary file format)

I made a short program to convert sysex SYX files to text TXT files.
I will soon make a TXT to SYX program.
The SYXtoTXT.exe can be excuted as a stand alone program or with a drag and drop of a SYX file onto SYXtoTXT.exe file.
I didn't test it with the shell module within a SM shematic, but it should work; just put the SYX file as parameter and SYXtoTXT.exe as executable.

My SYXtoTXT.exe application can be downloaded here : http://jemap.ifrance.com/documents/31.html

Would there be a way to do this convertion inside SM? What are the sysex file specifications?
Any sourcecode available for the SYXtoTXT? Seems like a great app. Thank you 🙂

+1 , It is really useful to support sysex files (load,save) I don't know why they have not implement this feature yet.

I think: 1) SM was originally envisioned to be more of a synth-builder, not MIDI editor. 2) The SM-LUA project was to be able to handle SyEx, but that is now 2 years dead. 🙁

So what was the purpose of adding SysexStr and StrSysex modules to SM if it is only a synth builder I cant find any usage of Sysex in soft-synth programming. Anyway With slight changes in Text load & save modules and support for null character Sysex load will be available I believe it is not a tough work to implement.

They were added later after people requested them 🙂

Well, I can. 😉

Isn't this a de facto request to have SynthMaker be enabled to read binary files?

Sysex editing opens up one BIG possibility for VSTi creation. Midi editors or better yet, sysex librarians where you can load a patch to your synth from HD, which basicly means unlimited patch storage for your synths.. and ofcourse total recall ! 🙂 This leaves you with best of both worlds. Total recall of the softsynth world and the better sound from hardware synths. I'm nearly finished with my editor/librarian for the Waldorf MicroQ and am going to do a simple librarian for my NordLead, Novation Nova and perhaps TG77 and JV1080. When i still used a digital mixer sysex handling would've also enabled me to have unlimited space for mixermaps and a better way to archive whole projects. I really dig this feature 🙂

Give me a holler when you are on the jv1080 matti and i will help anyway i can 😉

I think it is essential to be competitive with other types of software programming objects, more if you were to implement even
SysEx xF0 = = 240 MTC Quarter Frame Song Position Pointer Song Select Tune Request MIDI Clock MIDI Tick MIDI Start MIDI Stop MIDI Continue Active Sense Reset
I would be a happy man
😍
Nu Audio Science ·
Some of those would be a lot more useful if there was an evernt system of some kind i think 😉

Hmm,
is it possible now to read out Midi Clock with Sysex in SM???
Forget this Sysex/ Midi clock newbie question... 😉
Midi Clock sends only status F8...! no Data and that's why the splitter gives nothing inc. no trigger 🙁
we need a splitter that filter Midi-Status-changes!

I've made a Sysex_Load.osm module downloadable here : (web site temporarily discontinued until 2012/01). You'll need to load SYXtoTXT.exe on the same page.
SYXtoTXT works as a standalone application, or drag-and-drop a sysex file to create a text file, or call it inside SynthMaker (see Sysex_Load.osm).
radido ·
hi there, any downloadable "osm" are closed?!?
May you can reload them ? -please - 😇
jemap ·
Website is down (provider's fault) and the files-sharing-site i use is in maintenance update... I'll make all files available soon with new direct links between 25th-31th december 2011.
jemap ·
Finally, here is the direct link : http://www.fileden.com/files/2011/9/12/3194741/My%20Documents/Music/Sysex_Loader.zip
Files are a sysex loader osm schematic example for synthmaker calling the SyxToTxt.exe application that must be in the same folder.
The SyxToTxt.exe works three ways : as standalone, called directly within your SM app (see sysex loader osm), or drag and drop one or several syx file(s) to create txt file(s).

Thanx so mucht , was very helpfully 😉
