SysEx editor

Open the SysEx editor from a SysEx macro’s Message row. Use it to define the raw System Exclusive payload and mark which bytes the knob modulates via MSB and LSB slots.

Open the editor

  1. Configure the macro mode to SysEx (see Setting up macros).
  2. In the macro grid, highlight Message.
  3. Press Select (short) Press Select.

SysEx macro — Message row

Browse bytes

The editor shows F0 and F7 anchors with up to 16 data bytes between them. Turn the encoder Turn the encoder to move focus across bytes and the + append slot.

SysEx editor — browse

Example in the screenshot: Universal Non-Real-Time SysEx header 7E 00 06, with MSB and LSB assigned on two payload bytes, hex byte 15, and + to append another byte. Counter 6/16 = six payload bytes used.

LabelMeaning
Hex pair (e.g. 7E)Data byte value
MSBThis byte receives the knob’s coarse (7-bit) modulation
LSBThis byte receives fine modulation for 14-bit control
+Append a new byte at the end

Edit or add a byte — hold Select

  1. Focus a byte or the + slot.
  2. Hold Select (long press) Hold Select — the value picker opens with up/down arrows.
  3. Hold Select (long press) Turn the encoder Turn the encoder to choose Empty (--, delete), MSB, LSB, or a hex value 007F.
  4. Release Select to apply and advance focus.

SysEx editor — hold Select on append slot

The screenshot shows the + append slot with the picker set to 00 — scroll up for Empty, MSB, or LSB when those slots are still free.

TIP

Assign MSB and LSB on different bytes when you need 14-bit resolution inside the SysEx payload. The macro Minimum / Maximum range maps knob travel onto those slots.

Reorder bytes

Hold Select (long press) Select (long press) on a byte enters drag mode. Turn the encoder Turn the encoder to swap the byte with its neighbor, then release to confirm.

Exit and commit

Press Back (short) Back commits the message when it changed and returns to the macro grid. The macro sends the SysEx message with modulated bytes when you turn the knob.
