Easy to understand examples, thank you. Yes, this is what I mean by my
post, using GPL code means that nobody can take on the copyright without
violating the GPL.
Hi,
I'm currently playing with some code that sends SysEx data to ALSA using
RtMidi¹. I get an error reported by the latter one as soon as the size of the
message exceeds 16355 bytes. Unfortunately, I have such SysEx files of two
devices (namely a Waldorf Microwave I and a Digitech Studio Quad).
Can anyone comment whether this is a limitation in ALSA, and in case it is if
there are coding workarounds? AFAIR ALSA splits incoming SysEx-events into
chunks of 256 bytes if necessary. But I obviously overlooked that sending is
much harder when I played with SysEx data the last time :) .
Best regards,
ce

Woops... A little embarrassing. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi,
First release of the VCF LADSPA plugins ported to LV2:
(again, temporary download location)
http://www.jwm-art.net/default_downloads/vcf-lv2-0.0.1.tar.gz
notes:
some of the filters appear to work incorrectly in ardour2,
but appear to work correctly in lv2rack and ingen. i don't
yet know if this is a fault with my .ttl files, if anyone
with more knowledge than i can clarify it'd be much appreciated.
----------------
Second release of the NJL LADSPA plugins ported to LV2:
http://www.jwm-art.net/default_downloads/njl-lv2-0.0.2.tar.gz
changes:
* removed www. from LV2 URI prefixes of all plugins
* fixed port properties which specified 'integer' instead
of 'Integer'.
----------------
plugins have been (unthoroughly) tested in lv2rack, lv2_jack_host,
ingen, and ardour2. of the vcf plugins, the CV variants are mostly
untested.
Cheers,
James.
