Hello,
Recently, a question was asked about the best way to connect applications
(pipes or network) to exchange simple control datas between them.
I wonder if another solution could be to use the MIDI layer, using SYSEX
messages ? Is it efficient ?
If you want to encode and decode everything to 7-bit data chunks, and a low
rate...
No, I don't think it is worth the hassle to encode something into MIDI SysEx,
just to decode it again on the other side.
MIDI was invented for hardware machines, where it had to be decoded on some
microcontroller, or encoded.
