Basic SysEx support

[smosher]

I'm trying to do some SysEx stuff, but it requires a binding for Pm_WriteSysEx and needs to be able to read the full 32 bits that is written to the buffer by the portmidi C library. Is this possible?

Sorry, there has been so much std lib churn that I've put this on the back burner until it settles down a bit. In the medium term I'm going to integrate this with the midi library I've been working on: midi-rs.

Give me a week or so, and I'll get something working for you.

[smosher]

Sure, thanks! No rush, I've got other blockers too. I'm happy just knowing its in the pipeline.

Status of this issue?

[musitdev]

Nothing new. Perhaps you want to work on it?

[suhr]

I'd like to, but I don't know what is PmTimestamp.

It's the binding for portmidi PmEvent: typedef struct { PmMessage message; PmTimestamp timestamp; } PmEvent; In portmidi doc there is this description: The timestamp field is observed when the output port is opened with a non-zero latency. A timestamp of zero means "use the current time", which in turn means to deliver the message with a delay of latency (the latency parameter used when opening the output port.) Do not expect PortMidi to sort data according to timestamps -- messages should be sent in the correct order, and timestamps MUST be non-decreasing. See also "Example" for Pm_OpenOutput() above.
