System Exclusive (Sysex) Messages

MIDI System Exclusive Messages may be assigned to any FaderMaster control. First
select a control in a Setup window then click on the Sysex Message Tab in the
Inspector.

The majority of System Exclusive messages are proprietary to the various equipment
and software manufacturers, and the details on how to form valid sysex messages are
beyond the scope of this manual. Most products that send and receive sysex, include a
section in their manuals on forming sysex messages that work with those products.

Sysex messages always start with the hex value F0, and always end with the value F7.
The FaderMaster software will always include these values in it’s sysex messages, so
you don’t have to.

In between the F0 and F7 can be various values, such as the manufacturer ID, product
ID, device ID and a code for the type of operation the message should trigger.
