What you see seems to be the MIDI encoding used by a
USB device.
Every “simple” MIDI event (that is less that 3 bytes) are encoded
as a 4 bytes word. The 1st byte (MSB) is - if I remember correctly
- the concatenation of the MIDI port and a USB specific code for the
event. The 3 remaining bytes contains the MIDI event as it is encoded
on a standard serial MIDI line.
That makes perfect sense.
OTOH I also have some other devices for which the USB bytes are
exactly the same as the MIDI bytes - no extra ones.
Is it the
bInterfaceClass 1 Audio
bInterfaceSubClass 3 MIDI Streaming
that would imply the format you describe ?
I will also need to send some sysexes, and would prefer to use
this device directly as a USB one without going via any MIDI
layer - the application has nothing at all to do with audio
or music. Is there any documentation on what those extra bytes
are supposed to be ?
Many thanks !
