Certainly, thank you for your interest.

I am using 4D database language on a current Mac, trying to receive and send sysex messages from within the database. My present tests involve my (beloved) H3000 D/SE. At the moment I use Max to communicate with the H3000, then copy the received text into the 4D database. But I am quite certain that I can somehow configure my Mac ports from within 4D to communicate directly.

(see 4D manual items

“Set Channel” https://doc.4d.com/4Dv20/4D/20.4/SET-CHANNEL.301-7026431.en.html

“Receive Buffer” https://doc.4d.com/4Dv20/4D/20.4/RECEIVE-BUFFER.301-7026437.en.html )

It is a matter of informing 4D which port to use and what settings to use (baud, bit, etc)

P.S. When Eventide equips the H9000 with String Modeller or its equivalent, I will seriously consider picking one up.
