Summary	0001160: Allow MIDI macros of any length
Description	MIDI macros are limited to 31 characters, which makes them somewhat useless for transmitting e.g. SysEx patch data. In the MPTM format, macros should be able to have any length.
Tags	No tags attached.

Has the bug occurred in previous versions?
Tested code revision (in case you know it)

Saga Musix 2024-12-04 17:25 administrator ~0006250	The new macro functionality of the built-in MIDI I/O plugin, which can also be routed to a follow-up plugin, should hopefully make this limitation mostly obsolete. I'll keep the issue open for a potential redesign of the MPTM format in the future, but right now it's no longer as relevant as it used to be.
