Decimal equivalents will appear in brackets after their hex counterparts:
0xF0 = F0h = F0 = (240)
0x64 = 64h = 64 = (100)

Preset numbers
Preset numbers are represented in the SysEx messages as 2 bytes (14 bit value). The first byte
is the 7 least significant bits and the second is the 7 most significant bits. The preset numbers are
mapped as follows:
Preset number zero is the currently edited preset.
Examples:
Factory preset number 67 (decimal) would be translated into bytes 43 (67 in decimal - LSB)
and 00 (MSB).
User preset number 48 (decimal) would be translated into number 148 (decimal) =
1x128+20 (decimal) and would thus be represented as bytes 14 (LSB - 20 in decimal) and 01
(MSB).
