Any Windows program will likely show the same limitation sending raw MIDI
data as MIDI-Ox - it's a Windows thing.
There are two ways to send MIDI data through the Win32 API, one for short
messages of 2 or 3 bytes, one for long messages (typically sysex) which can
be any length. In order to send MIDI bytes one by one, an application would
have to use the long message call, with single bytes of data.
All drivers seem to accept a long message containing invalid MIDI data, but
some wont actually transmit it.
This can leave you scratching your head...
