/**
 * @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.
