It has been proposed that SysEx be represented as a GMPI blob. It needs to
be identified somehoe - I would be in favour of addressing it to /SysEx or
similar. I didnt bother commenting to the orginal message as I though it
was an obvously good idea.

To be clear. I am not anti-MIDI in any way, from where I am now I can lay
my hands on 4 or 5 deviecs designed to send and/or recieve MIDI. MIDI is
great, for some things, just not for arbitrary plugin control.
