There aren't that many midi2 applications and many of those that exist probably can be adapted. The midi2 kit has quite a few bugs and features IIRC and I think they should be fixed; there was never any documentation anyway... I doubt if even binary compatibility is that important... --ms ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christian Packmann" <Christian.Packmann@xxxxxx> To: "OBOS-MIDI" <openbeos-midi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 13:35 Subject: [openbeos-midi] Midi2 handling of SysEx data Hi people, I'm working on some SexEx Send/Receive tools, and found out that SysEx data handled by Midi2 gets the first and last bytes stripped off. This is very annoying, as I have to add the 0xf0/0xf7 bytes by hand in each BMidiLocalConsumer function where I handly SysEx, which adds considerable overhead. Is this a bug, or supposed to be a feature? The docs should be updated to reflect this behavior. And we can't even fix it, as other programs may rely on this by now... Bye, Chris
