Can I send a sysex message using csound's midiout opcode? And how?

System Exclusive MIDI messages can be of an arbitrary length. Can csound's midiout opcode accommodate for that? Is there a workaround?

Solution

  • Csound's midiout supports only channel messages.

    To get SysEx messages, you would have to use some external tool to convert some custom controller messages into SysEx messages. (See Send MIDI SysEx message based on CC or PC message, which has no answer; I don't know if midish would help, or if you'd have to write your own software.)
