FR for two components: - Load Binary File into Hex String - Save Binary File from Hex String

Both could use a string in hexadecimal format (in a way Sys-Ex to String and String To Sys-Ex use) so binary data such as 0x0123F4E7... would be converted to/from a string "0123F4E7..."

This would allow parsing binary files, e.g. searching a wave file for a loop point or directly writing/saving syx files, etc.

Looks like I'm not the only one that needs it (Parsing a config file)

Don't know about the exact implementation, but a binary loader would be nice to have. +1 from the non-yet-customer (just waiting for my paypal to get filled up now).

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
