Oh yes, I remember this problem, I still haven't come across any way to get
round it. Should work on XSteem when I finally get round to adding MIDI
support.

No unfortunately not, it doesn't matter how many bytes are in the buffer,
any that aren't needed are just ignored. The problem comes from the way
Windows handles MIDI, if I could access the MIDI port directly there would
be no problem, but that doesn't seem to be possible.
Sorry about that,
Russ
