Suggested replacement: "and also is not to be used for any MIDI messages over three bytes in length (e.g. system exclusive messages)." or maybe "and also cannot be used for any MIDI messages over three bytes in length (e.g. system exclusive messages)." 77655 1 ray 2012-11-01 12:17:09 +0000 I've no problem with the proposed text, but I disagree with your rationale. AFAIK, there are no other messages that exceed 3 bytes. A pitchbend message is three bytes ( 0xEn LSB MSB ) 77658 2 chris 2012-11-01 14:23:55 +0000 Yeah you are right about pitchbend. And high resolution CC's are sent as two messages of three bytes each. Proposed text is still better though ;) 77672 3 cwilso 2012-11-01 15:29:35 +0000 There are no MIDI messages over three bytes in length that are not sysex. (See http://www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php.) Regardless - this text will go away as we consolidate send, anyway. 77727 4 cwilso 2012-11-01 23:56:30 +0000 This text is no longer present, after https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/audio/rev/f939eca58e74. 78471 5 olivier.thereaux 2012-11-19 16:02:37 +0000 (In reply to comment #3) > There are no MIDI messages over three bytes in length that are not sysex. > (See http://www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php.) > > Regardless - this text will go away as we consolidate send, anyway.
