It appears you have an extra byte from somewhere. All of Ben Tubb's GS
tuning examples at my web site are 22 bytes long. Yours is 23 bytes.

Topic No. 3

Many thanks John. I have checked the above and it is exactly correct. I
will take a look on your site and try to experiment with different GS tuning
examples. I am still looking for introductory information on sysex so that I
can understand what I am doing with it.

Best wishes,
Joseph

The software looks interesting, and is free in beta, $50 on release.
BUT it is Windows/NT only; no Macintosh version available.

I (and perhaps others on the list) would appreciate the courtesy of posting
platform info ahead of time; since our campus is entirely Macintosh,
Windows software is useless to me, and I wouldn't have bothered to search
for the AudioMulch webpage had I known its platform limitations.

Has it become automatic to assume that the Macintosh doesn't exist anymore?
It still seems the more robust environment for graphics and sound work in
the real world. I don't have the slightest intention of initiating a jihad,
but am curious as to the state of things.
