Yeah, I know about that - and indeed it is a standard, but on a level
that isn't all that interesting IMHO. (After all, it's all about
transferring mostly non-stardard data...)
I was thinking about CCs, Program Change and stuff. Is there a
standard way of asking a synth for the names of it's patches, or
which CCs are assigned to what, for example?
There's no tactile "click" when connecting a sequencer CC output to a
MIDI device CC input, if you know what I mean.
