Hi Isidro,
Thank you for the info. Reading the library you had mentioned, I got the impression that it currently does not support MIDI functions for Windows. Similar to some of my posts from a while back, I am trying to learn what it takes to get Sysex working, this time under Windows. Homebrew I/O devices are cool indeed. Meanwhile, there are a great variety of MIDI devices available in shops which require Sysex messages to fully utilize them. I find it a bit sad that I cannot easily prepare abstractions to work these devices. For Linux, Sysex ([midiout]) seemed to be simply "fixed" in recent versions of Pd. What more does it take to work it under Windows? So far what I've learned from observation is that a C function, "midiOutLongMsg" must be utilized to send Sysex messages. In the current code I am reading (0.41-4) there are only midiOutShortMsg. Haven't looked in to receiving yet. I will have to proceed with reading the internals a bit more before I can write anything myself. -- David Shimamoto > If you donĀ“t want to use the DirectX API, you could > use > sndlib by Bill Schoesttadt.
