Hi -

I'm a newbie - I did not find a resolution for this question in my searches - maybe I'm bad @ searching?

This is a MIDI question

Running pd 42.5 extended on windows xp

I'm trying to send a Sysex message using the midiout object

The patch is simple

[240,4,8,23,247(
|
[midiout]

I'm using Midi yoke and MIDIOx to test

MIDI ox should see this as a SysEx message w/ 5 bytes. Instead Midi Ox recognizes the Sysex start and end command, but doesn't recognize this as a single message. The middle data are interpreted as unknown messages w/ 3 bytes each - in other words it sees 5 separate MIDI messages. Is there a way to properly pack the SysEx data into a buffer so that it is sent as a single MIDI message and not discrete MIDI messages? I've tried removing the commas and using the pack object, but neither of those works.

Thanks!!!

Hi All -
Not sure if anybody cares, but in the vanilla version 0.41.4 the same patch works:

[midiout]

This is OK for me as a work around for now! I'd be curious why the midiout object changed behavior between versions... anybody?

Hey -

thanks for that quick response (and for the tip on ASCII conventions)

too bad - thought that would be an easy one...OSX is not an option for me unfortunately.

any tips on developing a list method of sending midi like for a sysexout object as suggested on the mailing list?

Thanks again
