Transmitter of SysEX MIDI messages

This bachelor´s thesis deals with the analysis of MIDI protocol and especially MIDI SysEx messages, that are nowadays used more and more. The purpose of this thesis is the layout and realization of equipment, which will be these SysEx messages send over MIDI bus and simultaneously shows the description of these messages on one-row display. In the first part the solved thesis deals with MIDI, its history, definition of conception, linkage of hardware for communication and of cours analysis of language, that protocol communicates. The main Channel mode messages are analyzed, that MIDI system uses to basic operation for communication between various instruments in MIDI system. Especially System Common Mesagges are addicted and mainly SysEx messages. All standards of MIDI Specification, which can be send over SysEx messages, are shortly described. Universal and Manufacturers specific messages are showed. The list of SysEx Real Time and Non-Real Time messages is published, that are defined in MIDI Specification 1.1, General MIDI 2 standard and newest additions. The second part of this thesis deals with realization of Transmitter of SysEx messages. Hardware of the equipment is described, such as princip of connection, used parts and advantages of solution. The main part of the Transmitter is microcontroller Atmel ATmega16 from series AVR, which controls realized Transmitter. For communication with PC, where can load through formed application MIDI SysEx to Transmitter, serves nowadays the most used bus USB
