.Syx Storage For Each Instrument

PLEASE ADD SYSEX SUPPORT!

Not very promissing that there is still no SysEx support, after 7 years! I hoped for this feature way back in 2003.
I’ve seen this workaround with the Bome’s Midi Translater topic but this is not very elegant.

Not to become too nostalgic, but even the good old Octamed (Amiga) had it:

  • A simple hex editor to write/load/save SySex messages. A song holds a list of SysEx messages. Each message was assigned a number (or ‘index’ for that matter)
  • From the pattern editor, the message could be triggered from the effects-column by calling its number/index.

Not very fancy but it allowed for changing sounds, turning effects on/off on synths, modules and other MIDI devices like Alpha Juno, CM-32P etc.

Is it that hard, or isn’t there enough animo for it?
How many of us do use Renoise to sequence their outboard gear and hardware synths?
Is it possible to develop plug-ins for Renoise?
Or does that mean writing a complete VST plugin with its own MIDI implementation?
