I asked this question on the Logic Pro side as well.
How do I record SysEx messages on Logic? I need to do an init send or bulk send from my Yamaha keyboard and would like to record it on logic. How do I do that? Also, where in the manual does it explain this?
Thanks!

Hi slackyhacky,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I believe this is the option you're looking for, from the Logic Pro 9 User Manual:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=14%26se ction=0
Filtering MIDI Events When Recording
The MIDI protocol can contain a broad range of MIDI messages, beyond note-on and note-off messages. These include controller information such as pitch bend, modulation, and aftertouch (pressure) commands.
There may be situations where you don’t want to record all information being sent by your MIDI controllers. In this case, you can use several “MIDI filters” that allow you to define what event types will be accepted or rejected at the sequencer input.
To filter incoming MIDI events
- Open the MIDI project settings by doing one of the following:
- Choose File > Project Settings > MIDI.
- Click the Settings button in the Arrange toolbar, and choose MIDI from the pop-up menu.
- Click the Input Filter tab.
- Select the checkboxes that correspond to the MIDI event types you would like to filter at the Logic Pro sequencer input.
All the best,
Jeremy
Hi
It should be a simple as creating a MIDI track in Logic, start recording then press the appropriate buttons on the keyboard to get it to dump the SysEx. Be careful not to set up a MIDI 'feedback' loop.
If you need to send the keyboard a Bulk Dump message from Logic to initiate the SysEx dump, life will get a tad more complex.
You might also want to try a MIDI SysEx librarian as an intermediary, such as
