MIDI SysEx Utility (Syx-Lib)

Syx-Lib lets you send and receive system exclusive (or simply SysEx) messages to and from class-compliant* USB MIDI devices. Simply select a file containing SysEx data to send to a connected device. Or start a manual dump to save incoming SysEx messages. * This app will not function with devices that require proprietary drivers.
