"So, are you all telling me that there are no sequencers for linux that
support a simple sysex dump and sysex receive, you know, by taking a .syx
file and throwing it out to the machine?"
i'm not saying the situation is good, but i cant see a good
argument for integrating this functionality into a 'sequencer'.
I think many people would say that creating bloated monolithic
apps was the wrong direction to go in.
Well, if he needs this functionality in a sequencer, then maybe he needs to
send sys-ex in real-time, in which it would be mighty convenient to have it
in the sequencer. But then of course you need replacable parameters, etc.
Or even if it's just downloading in bulk before the sequence starts, I can't
see why you _wouldn't_ want this capability in the sequencer. Why make more
work for the user?
