Can anyone comment whether this is a limitation in ALSA, and in case

Have you tried doing SysEx dumps with amidi?[1] It might give you more

Hi :)
on my system it's possible to receive more than 16355 bytes. It might be
hat the TG33 sends "F0 [...] F7" blocks. Should I take a look at this?
Does amidi work for your system?
spinymouse-sudo@64studio:~$ amidi -l
