MIDI SysEx Tutorial
In an effort to bring System Exclusive (SysEx) messages to the masses, I embarked on a mission to produce this tutorial which will help people plumb the depths of this wonderful and powerful area of MIDI.

The MIDI SDS was adopted in January 1986 by the MIDI
Manufacturers Association and the Japanese MIDI Standards Committee.
The SDS defines the standard method for transfer of sound sample data
between MIDI-equipped devices. Sample dumps may be accomplished with
either an 'open loop' or 'closed loop' system. The open loop method
simply involves the straight dump of all sample data from its source
to the destination, with no timeouts, packet acknowledgements, or any
other form of handshaking, much as in the manner of a sysex bulk dump,
usually intiated at the source. The closed loop method allows the use
of handshaking messages between the dump source and destination, and
usually places the dump process under the control of the slave, to
allow it time to process the incoming data as necessary. As with any
standard, it can not be assumed that a device adheres to it unless the
accompanying documentation specifically indicates it. Even then, it is
best to check its conformity with non-critical data. ...
