There are limits on some hardware synths. Very many moons ago I wrote SYSEX software for an Acorn Archimedes to support a couple of synths I had at the time. One of them transmitted SYSEX in a series of quite small chunks, the other did the whole lot in a single stream. Both comply with the MIDI standard, but you have to send back in the format you receive, and as far as I recall there was no way of knowing this in advance. This was with MIDI 0 so may have changed since then. Both synths were Yamaha ones, and the biggie was "All voice and multi" - basically the entire synth setup! -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
