- it's definitely not changing (again) in Jack 1. The existing one is
fine for the uses intended anyway (if you're doing massive sysex dumps,
don't use Jack)
But there will be a Jack 2 at some point...
Sorry for throwing myself into this discussion, but why does that proposal
issue sound like an either or question? Actually I understand both positions,
the current JACK MIDI implementation should be fine for most of us and is
already in use by couple of apps, on the other hand I definitely agree with
Fons that it's really time to get rid of those ancient old MIDI constraints.
So why not having both solutions in the JACK API at the same time? JACK could
automatically do the conversion (where possible of course) for clients that
use the different two "MIDI" APIs in JACK. So that would provide a smooth
transition for the JACK universe from old MIDI to .... uhm whatever it would
be called ...
