> I think that the possibility to directly send a list to [midiout], I'd also like [midiout] to accept a list of numbers and serialize them automatically, similar to [send 0 1 2 3 4 ...( with [netsend]. but what should [midiout] parse? it just transmits bytes, the receiving device has to parse the message.

I can easily work with Sysex in various way and of course also the way you described. mine was more a let's call it curiosity. also because I think that the possibility to directly send a list to [midiout], and let Pd deal with parsing, would be a faster process. cheers,Mario 2018-02-22 22:40 GMT+00:00 mario buoninfante <mario.buoninfa...@gmail.com[mailto:mario.buoninfa...@gmail.com]>: yap I'm sending sysex from Circuit. I'm using Components a Novation website that allows you to store patches and session from Circuit. and the way that Circuit sends these info is why sysex. so I'm just dumping data and monitoring.

I imagined Gmidimonitor does that. but why is not parsing midi from Pd? sorry, maybe I'm just missing the point, but I'm really trying to get my head around with that ;) cheers On 02/22/2018 10:29 PM, Christof Ressi wrote:don't confuse MIDI messages with the individual bytes which make up the message. Gmidimonitor parses the byte stream so it can tell you which messages it gets. [midiout] is only responsible for sending raw *bytes* to a MIDI device. it's your job to assemble your MIDI *messages*.

I was wondering why there's a difference between 2 different piece of code that generates MIDI (Pd and Hardware synth). for example I just monitored (via USB) my Novation Circuit (a groovebox) and Gmidimonitor receives messages 81 bytes long. with Pd as I said is always 1 byte. now my question would be, how is this possible? I'm sure Circuit sends sysex 81 bytes long, so I know that this is correct, but still I don't know why Pd doesn't allow something like that. cheers, Mario On 02/22/2018 09:58 PM, Alex wrote: MIDI is a serial protocol, individual bits running down a single line, we now also have USB midi which is a little bit different than that but usually that is abstracted for you.The software monitor you're using likely groups these for you but in reality you simply have a stream of individual bits on the hardware line.. PD's object let you do bytes at a time instead of individual bits :) On Thu, Feb 22, 2018 at 1:47 PM, mario buoninfante <mario.buoninfa...@gmail.com[mailto:mario.buoninfa...@gmail.com][mailto:mario.buoninfa...@gmail.com[mailto:mario.buoninfa...@gmail.com]]> wrote: Hi Alex, thanks for your reply. I think that also using your abstraction Pd will spit out 1 byte per time (I didn't check it, but I assume that cause it's not an external in C). about MIDI if I'm not wrong, bytes are grouped in accord with the type of message, ie Note on/off and CC are 3 bytes messages, channel pressure and program change are 2 bytes, sysex have variable length and so on. and I presume they're sent out in group. in fact when I monitor MIDI messages coming for certain applications (I'm on Linux and I'm using Gmidimonitor) the console tells me the sysex size in bytes. so, with Pd the size is always 1 byte, but with other programming languages and softwares is variable and goes in accord with the sysex I generated. cheers, Mario On 02/22/2018 09:34 PM, Alex wrote: I haven't tested in a while but I wrote an abstraction to take a list, wrap it in the sysex start and end and output it as individual bytes: https://github.com/x37v/pure_data[https://github.com/x37v/pure_data][https://github.com/x37v/pure_data%5Bhttps://github.com/x37v/pure_data%5D] midi is a byte oriented protocol..
