I've still got my Roland LAPC-I card active on my old system. That is in effect a MT32. I'd not tried playing through that, as I'd interpreted ear...

Angus, Did I say it sounded 'right'? That was stupid of me. I very much doubt even my best version sounded 'right' (I assume - in comparison to...

Just to clarify, on the basis of MY experience. Sysex messages may or may not need a length. It depends. On the actual message, on the actual m...
