Description

This module sends out databytes as a system exclusive message. The system exclusive message is reserved by the MIDI standard for commands specific to a particular MIDI device or manufacturer. Sysex data always begins with the byte $F0 and ends with $F7; you don’t need to include these as they are added automatically by sysex .

The optional input port allows you to specify which MIDI port the message(s) will go out on.

Note OM and MIDI
   

OM can be configured to communicate with any MIDI device. See the chapter on configuring Midishare for more information.
