I just tried this with vanilla pd-0.42.5 on WinXP. [midiout] and [sysexin] both work despite the warnings. You need to send a multiple message like [240, 1, 2, 3, 247( although sometimes just sending the individual characters works too.
On pd-extended-0.42.5 [midiout] only sends the start and end sysex status, no message. Maybe because extended isn't using portmidi?
Shouldn't [midiout] be renamed to [sysexout]? It only does sysex, you can't send any other kind of MIDI message with [midiout].

I just tried this myself on a friend's windows machine running a relatively recent version of pd extended, though I'm not exactly sure which one.. it gave me an error MidiOut Error 1 whenever I tried to send a sysex message out. And there was an error about [sysexin] not being implemented on windows and [midiout] being dangerous.. I'm not sure if midiin worked with sysex or not because i couldn't get the sysex out..
Anyone know if this has changed or if there are plans to make sysex i/o work for windows?
Thanks, Alex

hello,
I was wondering what the current state of midiout is on windows (i'm working on Xp, but should make something that works under any recent windows version) I see some discussion about it in the list archives and forum, but it's not clear if it should be working or not right now..
I tried it on vanilla PD 0.42.5 and in extended 0.4.3. It seems in vanilla it does nothing at all. In extended it's sending out something, but not what i expect.. (sometimes the 3 bytes i try to send each padded by 2 or 3 0's, sometimes nothing at all..)
Also, it's not very clear what kind of input midiout expects - the documentation doesn't say anything about that.. i'd guess a list with first status byte and then the data bytes?
if it's not working (yet), are there any alternatives to send sysexes from Pd?
thanks,
Kristof
