+/**
+ * @file
+ * @brief Sysex utility functions
+ *
+ * These functions are for converting data to and from a "midi-safe" format,
+ * which can be use to send data with sysex messages.  Sysex messages may only
+ * contain data where the to bit is not set.
+ *
+ * An "encoded" midi message is one that contains all of the data from its
+ * original state, but does not have any of the top bits set.
+ *
+ * Every 7 bytes of decoded data is converted into 8 bytes of encoded data and
+ * visa-versa.  If you'd like to operate on small segments, make sure that you
+ * encode in 7 byte increments and decode in 8 byte increments.
