5. to preallocate some number of buffers for sending MIDI data allocating buffers during runtime the driver may be forced to wait in MIDIServer context what will indirectly result in kernel panic MolCp3 uses two types of such buffers short up to 170 bytes for MIDI data and long up to 1480 bytes ones Short buffers are used for infodata exchange between MolCp3 computers and also for sending MIDI messages when overall MIDI data size at a time doesn t exceed 170 bytes may include MIDI events coming from any ports to be sent to same target MolCp3 computer Long buffers will be used when overall MIDI data size exceeds 170 bytes Utilization of short buffers inversely depends on Send quantization time and using of Send immediately port mode Consumption of long buffers in this case will be negligible And vise versa When a flow of outgoing MIDI events is high number of preallocated short long buffers buffer pool size may be insufficient flow rate may exceed the rate of buffers return causing another kernel panic In this case the obvious solution is to preallocate as many buffers as possible n However taking in account that MolCp3 borrows buffers from system buffer pool preallocating too many buffers will affect Mac OS X networking functionality what is unacceptable MolCp3 allows to customize number of preallocated buffers specifying the following variables using boot args NVRAM variable Variable name Description Value ran
6. to understand what Send Quantization mechanism is for and how it affects MIDI event stream timing Imagine you re haulier and have infinite number of trucks Your trucks are intended to carry some goods household refrigerators for example from several warehouses Primary scenario of household refrigerators transportation may be as follows An autoloader picks up one refrigerator assume it cannot pick up more than one at a time out of warehouse and loads it into a truck Upon completion loading of one refrigerator a truck driver immediately turns ignition on starts engine and arives one refrigerator to some other location an intermediate storage area While first truck is on its way the autoloader picks up next refrigerator and loads it into another truck which immediately starting its way too and so on Lets complicate scenario assume it s scenario 1 Now trucks will carry 3 kinds of home devices refrigerators laundry washers and dryers from warehouses to several towns optionally A B and C Home devices are loaded into trucks one by one and immediately delivered each by individual truck to towns A B or C Results of your business are very high expenditures very low transportation efficiency BUT IMMEDIATE DELIVERY How to increase delivery efficiency keeping possible minimum delivery delay if your trucks cannot wait until completely loaded as long as you actually don t know whether it s enough items in stock to completely load
