# reverse engineering hexinverter mutant brain
the [mutant brain by hexinverter][hi-mb] is
an neat little MIDI breakout module, capable of 4 cv and 12 gate outputs, all
individually configurable.
the module is configured, primarily by uploading MIDI System Exclusive Messages
(SysEx) files to the module via the 5pin DIN connector. these files follow a
specific format, defined by hexinverter. these files can be generated with the
online [tool][config-tool].
beyond the [user manual][user-manual], which provides a fairly detailed outline
of the effective behavior with configuration, there isn't a whole lot of
documentation on the SysEx specification.
this repo is an effort to reverse the structure, with the goal to define enough
of the format to write configurations via custom software.
## results
- there are many example config mappings in [maps](maps/).
- the findings of comparison and reveng efforts are loosely laid out in [findings.md](findings.md)
