Syx-Lib lets you communicate with your MIDI devices by sending and receiving manufacturer-defined, or SysEx (system exclusive) messages. Simply select a file in storage containing SysEx data to send it to a connected MIDI device. Or start a manual dump to save incoming SysEx messages. Similar programs for Windows/Mac are referred to as SysEx "librarians" or "editors". Its most common use is to load and save program patches to and from a synthesizer via USB MIDI interface, that is connected to an Android device with an OTG cable like so: (Phone/Tablet) (Midi Interface) (Synthesizer/Keyboard/Other) Features • Send sysex data to a midi device • Receive sysex data from a midi device and save to internal storage • Manage sysex files on internal storage Requirements • Android version 6.0 and up. • A class-compliant MIDI device that is recognized by the Android OS. How to send SysEx data • Connect a class-compliant MIDI device to your Android device. • If the device is recognized, a dialog will appear. Select a device to connect to. If you want to reopen this dialog at any time, press the MIDI menu icon. • Once you are connected to a device, simply select a file to send. • A dialog will show the transmission progress. Press "Back" or anywhere outside the dialog to cancel transmission. How to receive SysEx data • Press the "Dump" menu button. • Instruct your connected MIDI device (i.e. by pushing buttons) to transmit SysEx data. • Each SysEx message received will be displayed separately in the order they are received. Remove any individual message by pressing the "X" button next to it. • Press "Save" to stop listening to the output port and save the displayed SysEx messages to a single file. • If you want to restart a manual dump, press the "Refresh" icon. Troubleshooting connection issues with MIDI devices • If your device is recognized but you are unable to send or receive data, try restarting the app. Press the "Exit" menu button and reopen the app. • Check that your MIDI device is class compliant. It must be recognized by the Android OS as a MIDI device.
