SysEx midi messages to Midi OUT

Fisu · Feb 9, 2003, 01:53 PM

There seems to be something wrong with how Kx handles System Exclusive messages sent to midi out (midi UART).

With Sblive drivers the Roland MT-32 module's "midi message receive"- led blinks all the time during send of SysEx messages and the unit gets programmed correctly. With Kx drivers the led blinks few times at the beginning of sending a SysEx message and then it's silent. And the module doesn't get programmed correctly.

I am using Sblive Live! Value, with joystick port as Midi Out/Midi In.

yes, this is a confirmed known issue with the present drivers.
we are working on it

So is it hard to fix or hasn't anyone yet just looked at it? I found out that while every windows app completely fails SysEx transfer, using Vdmsound (a program that allows sound/joystick with DOS games under NT) and some dos app/game to send SysEx message almost works. Vdmsound buffers the SysEx messages that Dos apps/games send to midi device.
