[Jsynthlib-devel] Inquiry ID Requests

[John M. <jo...@as...>]

Hi

Has anyone considered looking at the MidiScan stuff to deal more 
'elegantly' with synths that don't respond to an device inquiry as per 
the MIDI standard?

I noticed there is special code in there for the Waldorf Microwave 2, 
the Yamaha SY85 driver mentions that it doesn't respond and (my own 
'project' at the moment) the Kawai K1 also doesn't respond to a standard 
MIDI device inquiry.

I don't know about the SY85, but the K1 does have its own Machine ID 
request which seems a similar sort of thing so it may be relatively 
simple to refactor the code so that it sends a device inquiry then, if 
it doesn't get a response, loops round the installed device drivers 
checking for any that might have their own ID request etc....
