Hello!
I figured out how to add text events via CC lanes (surely there should be Text Event options in the event view?), but I have some questions as to their usefulness within JS.
I’ve done some experimenting with text events, and inspected the MIDI logs produced in each case.
From what I can see, it appears that:
- only single-character text messages are sent as MIDI events, whereas longer ones are simply ignored
- the sole identifying feature (data-ly speaking) is the type of text message, currently ranging from 1 to 7.
Firstly, is there a reason longer messages aren’t being forwarded?
Secondly, is there any way to determine what the text content actually is in each case, or does that require additional functionality?
Thanks.
