Robert - we went over this on IRC.

Contrary to you apparent pre-existing belief, *most* MIDI equipment does NOT send active sense messages. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish (you said you planned to write your own software), but if it is based around the idea that MIDI gear sends active sense messages when connected, it isn't going to work in the general case.

Dear All,

Does anybody use M-Audio Keystation 88?
Does it transmit MIDI "Active Sensing" message?
I have one and it does not seem to transmit "Active Sensing" at all.
Do you think it is a design feature, or a technical fault of the unit?

Kind regards,
