Hi,

Not too long ago I wrote here reporting an issue with receiving SysEx messages.

When Pd receives a big quantity of SysEx, the MIDI IN port 'gets stuck' and then you need to go to 'Media->MIDI settings...' and re-select the port, otherwise no MIDI messages will be received anymore.

Here's a video that shows the issue:

it's a private video, the pass is: sysexissue

Does anybody know what could cause this behavior and if it's possible to 'fix it'?

The first time I reported it, it was when I stumbled on this using my personal Linux machine and Miller Puckette suggested to change the MIDI buffer in the source code, but unfortunately also setting that to something insane like 2^20, the issue was still there.

Now I double checked on MacOS Sierra and Windows 10 and it is the same.

Cheers,

Mario
