I built a browser-native SysEx librarian for 80s/90s synthesizers

So have many other people. What makes yours special? The vibecoding? The sloppy marketing site is really off-putting.

I'd honestly be curious what those “83+ vintage & modern synths” are but you don't even provide a list…

Also, what the hell is a “Hex-to-ASCII Parser”…

Neat. That's really fancy.

I built something similar to manage sysex messages and patch libraries for my digitech guitar modeling workstation with webmidi: https://v0.app/templates/digitech-gnx3000-sysex-tool-GC5LzXA...

My favorite part of this so far has been spanning a range of parameters in seconds that would have taken a much longer time with gdigi and a completely unrealistic amount of time with the built-in knobs.

I own that FPGA now in a way I didn't before.

It listed my LXR-02 (connected over usb/web midi) as "Supported" after I connected it, but it did not appear in the list of synths under "backup my synth", nor did "capture soundbank" do anything.

Speaking of the LXR-02, I just just finished this MIDI/patch editor: https://lxr02.greg.technology/ (free of course) - source code link in the footer

> iCloud for sysex

I just have sysex librarian installed and pointed to my iCloud directory. It sure works.

I've been working on a similar-ish set of tools for my old synths and have been pleasantly surprised to find that synth manuals used to include the full SysEx spec for the synth. Most synths/controllers today don't come with a manual, and rarely provide all the information you'd need to create software to interact with it. They just expect you to use their shitty software, or worse, their mobile app, which will not work in ten or twenty years.
