Parsing Raw Sysex into format for sendSysex function.

Rajan Gordon Davis — Sun, 28 Mar 2021 19:21:43 +0000

I don't know enough about Sysex for this to be a generic thing, but I wrote some code to parse raw Sysex used for manipulating Meris Pedals into a format for the sendSysex function for the Output class.

This was kind of a blocker for me in terms of using the sendSysex functionality, but after doing a bit of research, the code should work for all of the Meris Factory Presets for all of the pedals.

I will probably have an inverse function to take the binary data and store it as Sysex, but I think I can probably derive this from the state of the application as opposed to the midimessage from the device itself.

It would be nice to have the functionality of sending raw Sysex out of the box, but I understand if it's out of scope for this project. Would be happy to make a small utility library if this is helpful for other people.

Mobile Browser WebMIDI support

If I recall correctly, the WebMIDI API should technically work with Android Chrome; however, I am not certain I understand how this would technically be possible without using something like bluetooth.

I do not require Mobile support; however, it would be awesome to know if there's been any testing or exploration on this? MIDI control over mobile would be killer, but I could settle for using the Native OSX/Android app route for MIDI control if needs be.

Midi recall

Hi,

Amazing lib, love the way it makes the web midi api easy to use.

I think a full recall of the connected midi device could be something really useful.

Right now I'm storing the patches/values as a json but I didn't found yet the proper method to update it in the midi connected device at once.

I tried to iterate through all the parameters using a delay between update and update (like this the midi connected device do not crash) but it sounds a bit hacky to me.

It would be great to have an optimised method to the job... or probably I'm missing something?

Any tip about this practice is welcome,

Best

Has there been any work on Sample Dump Standard?

I would like to support SY99 sample dumps.

VirtualPorts

Hello

I would like to suggest the inclusion of methods for working with virtual midi interfaces

Example:

WebMidi.createVirtual ('VirtualPort-1');
vOutputPort = WebMidi.getOutputByName ('VirtualPort-1');
vInputPort = WebMidi.getInputByName ('VirtualPort-1');
WebMidi.destroyVirtual ('VirtualPort-1');

This would be great for VST controls.

best regards
