Although MIDI is generally little-endian, the 4 time code bytes follow in big-endian order, followed by a F7 "end of exclusive" byte. Source: Internet
As a consequence of its original implementation on the Intel x86 platform, the operating system-independent FAT file system is defined to use little-endian, even on platforms using other endiannesses natively. Source: Internet

All multi-byte values are stored twice, in little-endian and big-endian format, either one-after-another in what the specification calls "both-byte orders", or in duplicated data structures such as the path table. Source: Internet
If a file starts with the signature " MM " it means that integers are represented as big-endian, while " II " means little-endian. Source: Internet
