[PD] midiout / sysex on windows

[kristof lauwers]

hello,

I was wondering what the current state of midiout is on windows (i'm 
working on Xp, but should make something that works under any recent 
windows version) I see some discussion about it in the list archives 
and forum, but it's not clear if it should be working or not right now..

I tried it on vanilla PD 0.42.5 and in extended 0.4.3. It seems in 
vanilla it does nothing at all. In extended it's sending out 
something, but not what i expect.. (sometimes the 3 bytes i try to 
send each padded by 2 or 3 0's, sometimes nothing at all..)

Also, it's not very clear what kind of input midiout expects - the 
documentation doesn't say anything about that.. i'd guess a list with 
first status byte and then the data bytes?

if it's not working (yet), are there any alternatives to send sysexes from Pd?

thanks,

Kristof
