Hi Dan,
the last patch I tried has only a [midiin] connected to a counter made
with Pd objects in Vanilla, so that I could count the number of incoming
messages. Unfortunately I cannot give you (at least at the moment) the
sysex file, since is sent by a piece of hardware. my sneaky suspicious
is that the issue is "rate related". It looks to me like Pd tries to
keep up but without any success.
another thing that pops up in my mind is the sysex length. in my case
the messages are 256 bytes long, do we have any restriction in Pd?
anyway I'll try to capture the sysex using a different tool and send it
over to you.
cheers,
Mario

to a certain message?
* Can you send me the raw byte values for the message?

Hi,
few months ago I was writing about some issues sending big sysex to Pd.
Miller suggested the following

I tried recompiling both on Linux (Ubuntu Studio 16.04) and MacOS
(Sierra)
but unfortunately without any success. I mean, I've been able to
recompile
it, but the issue's still there. moreover I couldn't find s_midi.c in
*Pd-x.app/Contents/Resources/src*
so I had to use the source code.
basically I'm sending (relatively) big sysex to Pd as fast as
possible and
I noticed Pd drops most of them. I'm collecting few hundreds byte on
top of
thousands.
did I miss something?
does anyone experienced something like that? any suggestion?
cheers,
Mario
