+ "-i, --sysex-interval=mseconds delay in between each SysEx
I really appreciate this new option. It's by no means useful only for firmware upgrades that's often mentioned in this thread. IMO that's a special case.
More common is that (older) synths expect a delay between SyxEx blocks to prevent "MIDI buffer full" type of messages on the synth's display. I have read in the manual of some Yamaha synths (can't remember which) a recommendation to use an interval of 10 ms. When I programmed YSEDITOR, a Yamaha synth editor/librarian in the old Atari days, I often used series of sysex messages simulating button presses to put the synth in a certain mode, before sending bulkdumps and parameter change messages. Some messages took more time inside the synth to be processed and I had to insert time intervals before I could send another message.
If I combine such a sequence of sysex messages in a single .syx file and use amidi to send the message, I will surely need the new -i parameter.
Apart from that, every sysex dump utility I have seen has a similar feature. MIDI-OX for Windows is probably the best known example.
So, thanks guys. -- MT _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
