[PD] MIDI timing FIFO overflowed receiving sysex (pt.2)

[mario buoninfante]

Hi Dan,

the last patch I tried has only a [midiin] connected to a counter made 
with Pd objects in Vanilla, so that I could count the number of incoming 
messages. Unfortunately I cannot give you (at least at the moment) the 
sysex file, since is sent by a piece of hardware. my sneaky suspicious 
is that the issue is "rate related". It looks to me like Pd tries to 
keep up but without any success.

another thing that pops up in my mind is the sysex length. in my case 
the messages are 256 bytes long, do we have any restriction in Pd?

anyway I'll try to capture the sysex using a different tool and send it 
over to you.


cheers,

Mario
