2.5.1.8. SysEx

SysEx ([data='', tick=0, port=0, type=240])

creates a SysEx event.

The SysEx, or system exclusive message is used to transfer arbitrary data to and from MIDI devices. The head of the data chunk carries a signature that identifies the instrument it is destined for.

Usually timbre setup data follows. For some devices to understand the message, the last byte should be 0xF7, or 247 decimal.
