Anybody familiar enough with the Midi Manager to answer a quick question? The manager apparently appends an 'f7' to MIDI messages, in order to ensure that all messages are legal. I want to override this, since I'm talking to a non-midi device using the manager (an AKAI DP2000 video switch) how do you go about adding another message type? right now the MIDI manager supports type 0 (standard MIDI) and type 1 (to the midi manager). There's room for 6 more types, if I read the manual right. thanks for any help ---Mike.

It'll append F7 bytes to the end of SysEx messages only - not the usual control messages. > I want to > override this, since I'm talking to a non-midi device using > the manager (an AKAI DP2000 video switch) If you don't want to talk MIDI, you probably shouldn't be using MIDI Manager. > how do you go about adding another message type? right now > the MIDI manager supports type 0 (standard MIDI) and type > 1 (to the midi manager).

If you want all kinds of extensibility, then you aren't talking MIDI anymore and, as I said, you probably don't want to use MIDI Manager.
