The OpenBeOS Midi2 kit works exactly like the BeOS R5 kit in that regard.
Which means we can't change that.
However, you can override the Data() hook to look for a sysex yourself. The
data buffer that is passed to Data() does include the control bytes (at
least 0xF0, but not necessarily 0xF7). You would do something like this:
void MyConsumer::Data(.....)
{
if (atomic && data[0] == B_SYS_EX_START)
{
// do your thing
}
else
{
// let superclass handle it
BMidiLocalConsumer::Data(.....);
}
}
See also BMidiLocalConsumer::Data() for hints.
As far as the documentation is concerned, I thought it would be obvious that
the MIDI control bytes (0xF0 and 0xF7) are stripped from the data, since
none of the other callbacks includes control bytes either. I will update the
documentation to make this clearer, though.
By the way, you can get the most up-to-date docs from:
http://home.tiscali.nl/mahlzeit/openbeos.html
In due time, the docs and other information from that page will be moved to
the new OpenBeOS website.
Hope this helps,
