=== MIDI Sysex SysEx ===MIDI also has the ability to send [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI#System_Exclusive_messages SysEx (System Exclusive)] messages. SysEx messages are proprietary protocols that each manufacturer can create for each of their devices. They use a common beginning and ending indicators, as well as manufacturer and device identifiers, so that devices that cannot interpret them know to ignore the message; and they can be incorporated into streams of MIDI messages between lots of devices in a MIDI ring without causing chaos. The SysEx common format is:# 0xF0 - SysEx Start# 3 bytes for Manufacturer ID# 1 byte for product type# 1 byte for device ID# x bytes for the message (this is the device-specific part)# 0xF7 - SysEx End
