July 19 2024 - Version 1.2.1 tidied up and tested with many sysex files with sizes ranging from 2 (F0 F7) to 64,000 bytes.
July 18 2024 - Version 1.2.0 corrected a bug that affected small files.

This is a file conversion program that converts Text, System Exclusive (Sysex) or Midi files.
It can convert one file or up to and including the whole directory as a batch process.

To select more than one file you simply use the standard Windows CTRL. + left click or the SHIFT + click method.

To put *.syx files into a Standard Midi file (SMF) the program just wraps the sysex up and adds header data.
To go from SMF to sysex is a bit more complicated as the SMF may contain data other than sysex. When the program comes across this data it just ignores it.

The Text to Sysex can handle other Midi messages so you could have sysex then a patch change, for example.
(Text to Midi (SMF) can do this t0o)

The big thing is that there is no checking that the data written as text is valid Midi, so be carefull.

F0 42 30 50 4E 00 F7
B0 07 65 // Volume
B0 0A 40 // Pan
C0 0D // Patch change

This is all OK

F0 42 30 50 4E 00 F7
B0 07 65 // Volume
B0 0A 40 // Pan
C0 0D 00 // Patch change, but with an extra byte

This will convert OK, but you could have trouble with the SMF player or the receiving equipment.
