How to send Sysex code to an MIDI Device?

General
1

Hello!

I have an console Yamaha QL1 and 3 sysex codes to send to it and an RTP-Midi device (Kiss-Box, UDP connected)

Is there a way to send System exclusive (Sysex) code to an MIDI Device using Node-Red?

Already tried to install the contrib node-midi, but it doesn't install.

Hope someone can help me. Thanks!

If you think that node would help then show us the error you get when installing.

I think if you look at the node red docs for installing node red on Windows you should find the solution. Otherwise you will need help from a Windows user.
