Hey, i’m working on a project that could well rely on the handling of SysEx messages.
I’ve heard from some people that the VST spec doesn’t handle SysEx messages properly. That may indeed be total bollocks, but since hearing that i’ve been trying to find out what limitations there may be, but have come up with nothing. Does anyone know?
Also, some have said that Tracktion has SysEx limitations. Perhaps there’s a maximum length of a sysex string? i’m not at all sure if that’s correct or not, but if there is a SysEx limitation, i presume it would also apply to JUCE. I’m working on something that is linked to SysEx, JUCE, Tracktion AND VST, and would like to know if anyone can clarify anything on the matter.
For example, is there a known limitation on what SYSEX messages can be output by a VST plugin? Or a limit to a JUCE SysEx string? OR a limit to what SysEx messages Tracktion itself can send to a MIDI output?
