SYX files are used to store SysEx messages, usually for patch data.
Reading and Writing¶
To read a SYX file:
messages = mido.read_syx_file('patch.syx')
To write a SYX file:
Non-sysex messages will be ignored.
Plain Text Format¶
Mido also supports plain text SYX files. These are read in exactly the same way:
messages = mido.read_syx_file('patch.txt')
read_syx_file() determins which format the file is by looking at
the first byte. It Raises ValueError if file is plain text and byte
is not a 2-digit hex number.
To write plain text:
mido.write_syx_file('patch.txt', messages, plaintext=True)
This will write the messages as hex encoded bytes with one message per line:
F0 00 01 5D 02 00 F7 F0 00 01 5D 03 00 F7
