MIDI System Exclusive Messages (SysEx) for TouchOSC (Ultimate Guide to TouchOSC)

System Exclusive Messages (SysEx) are a type of MIDI message that is used to share information with devices. Sometimes SysEx is used for patches, updates, commands, and more. TouchOSC MkII is capable of sending SysEx messages and we're going to look at how you can use them for transport controls.

Universal System Exclusive Messages are defined as Real Time or Non-Real Time, and are used for extensions to MIDI that are NOT intended to be manufacturer exclusive (despite the name).
