Title: can you do this???
Post by huzo on Oct 4^th, 2007, 1:21pm

can midiox browse keyboard files??you know what i mean?
to open my keyboard as if it was a drive on my computer or something like that?because i got with my yamaha psr-s500 a music soft downloader software and i can access my keyboards flash memory,usb memory, and a sistem memory..but in the system memory i only get yamaha psr s-500.bup file which i think is the sysex file of my keyboard where all the sounds and regs are stored.now what i want to do is access system memory to add new sounds because i cant do it through the software i got...i dont even know what extensions for sounds are on my keyboard...so iwould like to experiment with that

The data is called "System Exclusive" because it's exclusive data for a specific system. Without knowing every possible system and the definition of its System Exclusive data, MIDI OX couldn't browse that data.

(For example, I've got a TrapKAT. I can download the settings from it as Sysex data. I had to write my own editor to be able to change the settings on my PC.)

The details of the SysEx layout came from the manufacturer.

The source for the program is on Sourceforge: http://sf.net/projects/trapkat-editor

All the moving SysEx data in and out of the TrapKAT is done by MIDI OX.
