Hi Simon,
yes the message is received and understood by other devices, so at the
end of the day it's not a problem, mine is more curiosity :D
btw I've got a little update, after chatting with another Pd user, I
figured it out that the problem doesn't occur on Pd 0.48.0 and 0.48.1 .
but it does occur on Pd 0.46.1, the version I was using when I
discovered this.
so my suspect is that something changed in the code. I'll have a look at
github. does anyone know anything about that>
cheers,
Mario

hi there,
i have sent sysex with puredata for some years now, and i never had
any problems, even with large chunks.
i have used attached abstraction to send sysex, maybe it helps?
midi IS a serial protocol, so it is perfectly valid to send one byte
at a time at least over din midi. in fact i am doing that with
arduinos all the time. (usb midi is a different beast)
do the “special” midiout noteon and noteoff messages work when a
synthmodule or similar is connected?

Hi Miller,
yap I'm using ALSA.
btw, I had a look at the source code (I want to clarify I'm not a C
programmer :) ) and from what I found in x_midi.c and s_midi.c, it
kind of make sense that [midiout] returns 1 byte at time.
it seems to me we're missing a way to detect outgoing sysex messages
(maybe having a dedicated object could help), so there's no way to
collect a sysex and send it out in one go (ie having an array to
return). I apologize for my trivial description of the "problem", but
this is what I think is causing this behaviour.
cheers,
Mario

Hi Mario -
Perhaps you said this in the previous message which I missed... are you
using ALSA MIDI system or OSS?
MIDI support has always been a problem in Pd... largely because I don't have
a lot of experience with it.
cheers

Hi,
I ran few more tests on Linux trying to understand what's going on with
[midiout] and sysex messages.
I discovered that it's not just about sysex. I'm monitoring MIDI from Pd
with /KMidimon /and /GMIDImonitor/, and I noticed that also sending Note On
messages with [midiout] seems to be in some way different then sending the
same message using [noteout].
when Note On is sent using [midiout], this will spit single bytes that are
recognized as single byte sysex messages by the MIDI monitors!!!!!
has anyone ever experienced the same?
cheers,
Mario
