I've been doing MIDI for about eight years with RS/RB. Most of my stuff is SYSEX and Mac based (my products are iFCB, iVAMP, Moose, Sqwerl), although my translators are note and CC based. I¹ve attempted to use the PortMIDI on Mac and Windows but I¹ve never been able to get a stable app working with the performance I want so, I do it without PortMIDI.
I¹ve done a few projects cross platform, but I¹ve found either because of the way I wrote the code or the IRQ¹s for the Windows MIDI drivers, there¹s usually some latency issues if I need close to real time response. Especially on send, rarely on receive. Since the projects I do cross platform don¹t need to be speedy, I don¹t worry about it. On the Mac side, doesn¹t matter what it is, it¹s just easy with the routines I¹ve tweaked over the years. I wish I could say the MIDI interfaces themselves, when it comes to SYSEX, are as reliable as they could be (even class compliant ones). Too many of them aren¹t SYSEX capable. I guess the companies writing the drivers or embedded controllers just don¹t think anyone uses SYSEX any more. Or it¹s a niche market they don¹t worry about. I just finished off a Roland GR33 synth editor for myself.
