[LAU] Sysex with Jack MIDI

[Tim E. Real]

Tested MusE with Jack 1.9.14:

Successfully sent a 1536 byte sysex from one MusE instance to another.


Has Jack midi sysex length finally improved? Yay!

It sure didn't seem to be working years ago when I did the MusE sysex stuff.


Thanks.

Tim.

MusE sequencer project.
