Default js read functions

Is there anyway a function to read a txt file for use in sliders be implemented.
I know that some users have used a png to display information (patch names),
but it would be a lot easier if we could read the contents of a file into a slider control.

Also is there anyway of sending sysex or calling a mid file with sysex from js

Thanks

Would be really great to have sysex I/O with JS. The number of functions you can access by CC on different hw synth is very limited.
As an example on the motif rack xs, just to select a different multi, the only way is using sysex. And writing a vts plug just for that is a bit extreme.

sysex is a real pain though because it can stream in over a long period of time. sysex messages can get huge.

In my case most sysex are really small, less than 16 bytes.
There could be an option to ignore sysex larger than n bytes on input.

Would be great as it would make it easy to create an automation or CC to sysex plug using JS.

There are so many functions in hw that can only be accessed by sysex and are currently a pain to edit/generate within reaper (or any other host btw).

I could even use notes and the note names feature of the MIDI editor to trigger specific functions, would make my life so much easier.
