MIDI SysEx - does reaper not "thru" it?
I've got a controller keyboard that I can assign SysEx messages to to control things that CC messages can not.
I had set up my controller plugged in directly to a Roland FA-06 and it was working fine. But the controller needs to plug into the computer to update its control maps, which I had been working on tonight.
I sent over the control map with the SysEx messages and then tried it - and they don't work.
I used MIDI Examiner and when I send from my controller, a note message or a CC message, it responds telling me it gets the message.
But when I send a SysEx message, it does not.
Likewise, I can see the In and Out LEDS for MIDI on my interface "passing" the MIDI "thru" the track, but SysEx only shows signal coming into the Interface.
It's as if there's a MIDI Filter somewhere that's not allowing SysEx messages to pass (that's what it would be in Cubase).
I do see where you can send a SysEx message from the ReaControlMidi plug, and there is a Filter in the MIDI Editor which does have SysEx as an option.
I can also record Notes and CC changes - both are displayed in the MIDI Editor.
And even there, in its list of displays there's a SysEx option.
But, unlike notes and CC changes, when I press record and move a knob or press a button with a SysEx message on it, nothing gets recorded (or shows up in that SysEx window).
What am I missing?
