Sending text to a label over MIDI

[dhjdhj]

I have established that sending text messages to Lemur over OSC via UDP is unreliable in a wifi network (whether router or adhoc connection). I've found that about 1 out of 5 times, a message to change the text of a label under a fader is not received by Lemur. (This is not Lemur's fault, it is just the way that UDP works).

I'm wondering if there is any way to encode text in MIDI messages to Lemur so that I could send my messages that way?

Thanks,
David

Hi
one way (if you know the strings in advance) would be to store them in Lemur and select between them

MIDI wise I recall that there are some Sysex style formats available for passing strings, will have to check

In principle I would know them as I'm sending them from MaxMSP when I change patchers but ultimately there would be a lot of them and I would hate to have to mirror all the names in Lemur everytime I add them to MaxMSP

I figured sysex might work but I couldn't find any details on how to actually do it.

I wish they would just add TCP support for receiving OSC --- that would solve the problem completely.
