Sysexy MIDI Librarian : the sexy sysex librarian that Linux needs ========================================= Version 0.8.6, November 2020: { "Disease and Injustice" } Sysexy MIDI Librarian is a lightweight, unobtrusive graphical sysex utility with a lot of features for dealing with idiosyncratic gear that doesn't play nice with more generic utilities. Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sysexy/ http://www.keycorner.org/sysexy.htm FEATURES: * Gear attribute database, to teach Sysexy to talk to odd machines. * Still talks to gear not in database as "generic." * Config file stores per synth settings for port, channel, preferred transmit speed, verify retries, etc. * Recognizes dumps from known synths by size and header, regardless of filename on disk. * Per synth setting for verify retries, for individual synths you may have unreliable communications with. Sysexy can try very hard to send and receive dumps without corruption. * "Pseudobank" feature for synths that don't have a bank dump feature... to make them dump whole patch banks anyway. * GUI gear database editor, so you can enter sysex attributes for gear Sysexy doesn't ship with support for without editing config files. * Handling of various ad hoc extensions that MIDI gear manufacturers have concocted -- embedded MIDI channels inside the dump, embedded patch/program numbers, even CC commands prefixed before the dump. Now you can do sysex dumps from that piece of gear you have that won't talk to anything that wasn't taylor made for it. * And a lot more (see the manual...). This is Sysexy's first release. If you find bugs, I won't be shocked, so let me know. Also, if you have MIDI specifications for a piece of gear you'd like Sysexy to support out of the box, that's good too.
