Oh, and you know what, I was so concentrated in my hate for sysex ;) that i just noticed that i forgot to write the most obvious point about why sysex is a no-go.
And this is basically, that what you propose would work like this: sysex call to poll for bank description -> Midi Out and later Midi In <- patch listing And this has a fatal flaw, which is basically, what i said in my first, mail... Midi is a 1-way protocol. Thus considering this, remember that not all deviecs have In/Out , in fact many of them are either midi IN only, and midi OUT only. Think about the sblive/awe synth, alsa sequencer clients, etc, are MIDI OUT ONLY, so it's not possible in any way to retrieve information from them via sysex. regards Juan Linietsky _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
