With the Save as… option there is one thing to mention about the saved SMF: In case they contain music next to sysex data you will experience a measure warp along the timeline. Delta time in ticks between these events is calculated as follows: To get this done internally, the subsequent parts are handled as separate events with status byte F7h (EOX). SyxLoader splits big sysex events into parts of 1024 bytes by default. It may be useful if you put several dumps with distinct pauses into one file and stop transmission to change the MIDI output. This is not really an essential option for a sysex tool as most MIDI devices do not like interruptions. There is an Offline option to close the MIDI output and make it available to other applications without closing SyxLoader. allows you to save (and thus convert) a loaded SYX file to an SMF. Some keyboard shortcuts are provided for basic control. The file format was specified by the MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA).įiles can be opened as usual but drag & drop is supported and recommended. SMF are a common and standardized way to interchange time-stamped MIDI data between computers or MIDI devices. The contents in between are not of parsers interest but only for the dedicated MIDI device. The only thing a parser has to know or assume about a SYX file is that one or more data blocks may occur, each beginning with system exclusive status byte F0h and ending with F7h (end of exclusive, EOX). Unlike SMF, no timing information is included. They contain raw MIDI data in one or more blocks as transmitted via MIDI when performing a bulk dump. SYX files are the simplest way to store system exclusive data.

SyxLoader is a little tool for sending MIDI system exclusive data from SYX Files (.syx) or Standard MIDI Files (.mid) to your MIDI devices.
