Lots of 1.0 instruments have only SysEx to load/save patches. A single patch may have hundreds of parameters. Whole libraries of patches exist; they can be loaded/saved at once with Sysex. So, no way.
- unlinked_dll 7y agoI don't really see why that matters for a new protocol that fallbacks to MIDI 1.0, it's not a superset of MIDI 1.0. If your device only takes MIDI 1.0 SysEx for patches, anything that would send those patches via MIDI is going to do it on top of the fallback. What I'm saying is a new MIDI 2.0 device probably shouldn't be able to use SysEx. Either opt out of MIDI 1.0 and use the paradigms established or fallback to MIDI 1.0 and its limitations. Otherwise we're just going to get a mess of different implementations, and MIDI 2.0 will fail to be a successful standard.
