active_sensing

[shawnthesheep]

Hi,
I am petty new to python and mido but it seems to me that
active_sensing messages are not recognized by mido.
I get pgm, c,c sysex ... messages as expected but no active_sensing (254 / 0xFE) bytes.
With pure data and the same setup I get active_sensing messages.
Is it me or a bug or whatever?
Could help somebody?
cheers

The default backend mido uses - RtMidi - ignores active_sensing messages by default.

If you really need them, you'd have to edit https://github.com/mido/mido/blob/main/mido/backends/rtmidi.py#L133 and change the last bool to False:

self._rt.ignore_types(sysex=False, timing=False, active_sense=False)
