If I in a midi file see a port value of 11111111, how should i interpret it?
What is most likely the midi authors intention with that number?
Right now I am simply allocating it to port 255 in my app, since then it at least does not interfere with any of the 'normal' ports.
AI suggests it could mean its connected to all ports at same time, omni. Or that it means unassigned, which I guess is port 0, but what if there is tracks with port
0.
PS. I know ports is not part of standard midi 1.0 spec, but I hope one of you still knows the answer.
Thanks for any answers.
