ABSTRACT:
A system and method for transmitting text data to MIDI devices. Text data is received, encoded to generate a plurality of MIDI events not including a standard MIDI text event, and the generated MIDI events are transmitted. In one embodiment, the encoding includes selecting a standard type of MIDI event and generating a plurality of MIDI events of the selected type that encode the text data, the generated MIDI events being overrun events that have no effect on a musical output. In another embodiment, the encoding includes selecting a non-standard type of MIDI event and generating a plurality of MIDI events of the selected type that encode text data.
