The

One thing I never quite understood is the 'atomic' flag. IIRC the MIDI
message callbacks are only called for data with atomic == true, as you
are doing here also. For large SysEx messages it would make sense to
send them non-atomically, but this causes them to be ignored by most
(probably all) applications...
