I agree it's a bug.<br>
So far I've done a simple c program that outputs the sysex correctly, so I would be able to patch.<br>
The thing is that if we keep midiout object we need to change it's
interface (because it would have to accept a list instead of a float).
So maybe better to create a new object sysexout?<br>
<br>

Hi.<br>
I've been trying to use midiout but it does not work when sending sysex<br>
because it sends 1 byte at a time.<br>
Chatting with matju on #irc where he showed me the source code, I think<br>
the problem is that midiout uses ultimately sys_alsa_putmidibyte to send<br>
<br>
snd_seq_ev_set_sysex(&ev,1,&data)<br>
<br>
one byte at a time<br>
<br>
So we thought about writing an external that uses alsa-midi functions<br>
and he guided me the first steps.<br>
Now, the problem is that this external would need access to structure<br>
midi_handle, and variables alsa_midioutfd and alsa_nmidiout which are<br>
defined in s_midi_alsa.c (because creating and opening ALSA ports is<br>
handled there). The functions provided by s_midi are not good enough as<br>
I need to<br>
<br>
snd_seq_ev_set_sysex(&ev, data_array_size,data_array)<br>
<br>
So my question is: is it possible to write such external? or I need to<br>
patch the sources?<br>

IMHO this is a bug, so you should patch the source, then submit the patch to the tracker. Also it seems to bug differently on different OSs, only linux uses alsa. Pd's sysex implementation didn't work properly on WIN32 either last time I checked.<br>
