I had sysex input and output working on my linux machine but I've had a harddrive failure since then and haven't tried with the latest pd build.
I think I used [midiout] and I needed to use the ALSA midi instead of portmidi, or something.. It has been a little while. One thing to note is that the size of the sysex input buffer is limited to something like 23 bytes, I submitted a change to this but I got little response as far as I can remember. It was just another hard-coded higher limit though, the small limit makes PD pretty much useless for parsing most midi sysex dumps like patch dumps from synths [which is what I was trying to do, make a patch editor for the dave smith instrument's evolver]. -Alex On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 10:04 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't think sysex works on linux either; at least I'm trying to send using > [midiout] using alsa midi and nothing is going through the interface, > whereas [noteout] works fine.
