Hi Julian,

> What about enabeling sysex strings as possible aux. events?

That's not something I'd be too keen on I'm afraid.
Sysex strings need to be at least 5 or 6 bytes long, and midi bandwidth is
in short enough supply. I don't consider sysex to be a 'realtime' part of
the midi protocol. IMHO sysex should be for offline loading and dumping of
data only.
I used to have a Matrix 6R myself, and attempting to do sysex edits from
within a pattern made it cough and stutter really badly.

Cheers,
Colin f

[So, when are you planning on re-writing the midi protocol then?  And, more
to the point: Why havent you allready?]
