For Antares these would be 0xF0 0x00 0x01 0x26 [data here...] 0xF7 (at least according to http://true.chez.tiscali.fr/sysex/sysexformat.htm and http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec.htm) You could try Python (start the interpreter with 'python' and type in the next): fp = open ("datafile") midiport = open("/dev/midiXX", "w", 0) data = fp.read() fp.close() midiport.write(chr(0xF0)+chr(0x00)+chr(0x01)+chr(0x26)+data+chr(0xF7)) midiport.close() Haven't tested it (I don't have an Antares device or anything else that wants SysExes for that matter) but "if everything else fails, use python" :) -- Jaakko Prättälä Jaakko.Prattala@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.cs.Helsinki.FI/Jaakko.Prattala
