Hi,
I am hoping someone can give me advise on getting my Ubuntu box to send sysex message over MIDI.
Some questions..
What is the proper format for messages to go into [midiout] or [sysexout]?
Do I make a list of numbers such as [247 NN .. .. .. NN 240<
or do I need to serialize them as [sysexin] receives each byte as individual messages?
Previous posts on the same topic were a bit too vague for me to catch up with. Although I use Debian & Ubuntu daily, unfortunately I am not fluent in developing practices enough to design my own workarounds (at least not yet).
The closest I could get was the understanding that there is no method to get Sysex output to work other than patching Pd so a different kind of function in ALSA-API will be used. (also that the current releases have a 20 byte limit. This is probably not my case though)
If current pd-extended (which I am comfortable with, either stable or testing) needs patching in order for midiout to work, I would highly appreciate specific procedures on how to get it going, hopefully on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 8.04 or 7.10.
Any type of help appreciated. Thanks.
