in reply to Converting 7 & 8-bit values

If I remember correctly, MIDI is basically a 1200 baud serial interface, so any relatively current computer nowadays should have no problems with supplying the correct data in a timely fashion. Have you looked at the MIDI modules on CPAN already? I'm confident that they provide encoding and decoding of the MIDI event numbers and other stuff.

    Been there, tried them. It's conceivable that what I want is there, but if so, I can't see them. To clarify, what I'm looking for is not general sysex decoding, but a means of decoding a very specific Korg encoding mechanism (if someone else is doing the same, I don't know who; but I'm not familiar with the formats in general). So I don't see any MIDI modules on CPAN that cover this. But thanks!
