In order to get sync mode working with MIDI in (such as from your
computer sequencer), I figured it would be useful to have MIDI soft
thru available. That way, you can cascade your Poly 800 and EX800
without taking up any extra MIDI ports. So I implemented that today
and it works OK. Since I used a FIFO (first in first out) to buffer
the incoming MIDI (to keep the MIDI interrupt handler as small as
possible), there is definitely going to be a delay on the soft thru
MIDI. But I was not able to discern any delay with my own ears or
looking at MIDI-OX.
