I don't think so.
Nobody else does either. But: there is *no* other standard that exists to describe what MIDI describes in a useful way that is even close to be remotely useful with a variety of h/w and s/w. So: we make do. JACK MIDI was explicitly designed with the idea that it would *not* be useful for large sysex messages. we looked at it and decided that it was not possible to come up with an API that would serve both goals. --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
