Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] SysexWidget.IParamModel/ISender interface

[Hiroo H. <hir...@co...>]

OK, take your time.

I have some questions.  (You don't have to answer.  I can wait to seeing
your code.)

Why some method in Parameter has 'IPatch p' argument.  I guess the
IPatch object is passed to Parameter object via constructor.

How does IPatchDriver.sendParameter(IPatch, Parameter) works.  Parameter
object does not have information about SysexMessage data format.  I
guess what we need is 'void Parameter.send()'.

I must be misunderstanding something.
