I wanted to avoid using the rawmidi API, as it requires exclusive access to a
MIDI port, so you couldn't send SysEx files to (or receive from) a device while
it still is connected to another app.

I will continue to use RtMidi ATM to get some code written. If I'm pleased
with the code, I will decide how to cope with bigger SysEx events.

Thanks a bunch for all the useful replies!
