Maybe :-).
our MIDI works with the mentioned 3 byte messages, but in the past I
managed to "cheat" it and reliably send 2 byte messages (patch and
bank changes). I think I left the 3rd byte blank or maybe I set it to
zero (might be the same thing). Anyway, by chopping up your message
into 3 byte blocks and sending those in order you might be able to get
it through, I have high hopes for that.

I'd appreciate it if you'd report back any findings.

Yours,
Kas.
