I have never heard of a sysex document. where is the sysex info stored? is it in a standard midi file? is it in a text document? how did you access it before?

Like for instance:
i need to update an OS of my alesis sound module
so i download the syx from the web site,
and i do as the manual tells me :
"open the syx with a sequencer program (can be logic or any other)
use the midi Out (sequncer/computer)to the MIDI in of the module
and run the sequencer, and the module will be updated "

but the problem is when i run logic and import the file syx. logic says
"SYX file imported not yet implemented "

so maybe i am not doing it right

I do not believe that Logic handles this sort of thing. You need another program like Sysex Librarian (for the Mac) to send sysex files to external midi devices.

You should be able to drop any file ending in '.syx' in the arrange on a track for your synth and press play.

I believe the drag and drop method as mentioned above will work. I also think sysex information can be in a midi .mid file, and make sure all other midi units are off that you don't want affected before you start.
