[sdiy] Tools for testing MIDI

[chris]

I have rarely dealt with synchronization, but I'd expect the sending 
side to be pretty straight forward - if it sends the clock messages, 
you're done. Any stress test would be more on  the receiving side, 
including passing through MIDI mergers etc.

What could be done: keeping the sync on for an exactly specified (long) 
amount of time (possibly book-ended by some other unique messages),  and 
have a receiver count the number of clock messages during that time. 
That way you can be sure that your sender doesn't skip a message *every 
now and then*. But you'd probably need a DIY receiver - which obviously 
is within your capabilities.
