Hi Alex,
thanks for your reply. I think that also using your abstraction Pd will spit out 1 byte per time (I didn't check it, but I assume that cause it's not an external in C).
about MIDI if I'm not wrong, bytes are grouped in accord with the
type of message, ie Note on/off and CC are 3 bytes messages,
channel pressure and program change are 2 bytes, sysex have
variable length and so on. and I presume they're sent out in
group.
in fact when I monitor MIDI messages coming for certain applications (I'm on Linux and I'm using Gmidimonitor) the console tells me the sysex size in bytes. so, with Pd the size is always 1 byte, but with other programming languages and softwares is variable and goes in accord with the sysex I generated.
cheers,
Mario
I haven't tested in a while but I wrote an abstraction to take a list, wrap it in the sysex start and end and output it as individual bytes: https://github.com/x37v/pure_datamidi is a byte oriented protocol..

Hi,
do you guys know if there's a way to send a list of sysex messages (or 1 complete message, let's say 8 bytes long) rather then 1 byte per time?
if not, do you know if there's a particular reason why it's not possible?
cheers,
Mario
