Midi clock start string?

[Piplodocus]

I don't suppose any of you midi geniuses can tell me what the hex string is for a MIDII clock start message? Or how to work it out? The only info I've found seems a little unfathomable.

Thanks!

This wiki page covers it as well as the other related messages.

Cheers. So that says it's 0xFA. What's the beginning part of the string though? I've got a midi controller that sends out "sysex strings". Technically midi clock isn't part of the 'sysex' bit of midi but I'm suspicious it'll basically send anything midi if I have the full hex code for the command.

You're asking what the '0x' is? If so, it's a prefix used to denote hexadecimal. If your controller purely works with hexadecimal, you wouldn't need that. You'd just need to enter the FA.

I know the 0x bit. I just expected more in front to say it's a clock type command or whatever. Maybe F is clock things and A a start message and there's 15 other types of messages can be defined in the first byte using anything other than A, so I'm overthinking it and it's just a stupidly simple message.
