Thanks, I have just tried it.
1. I recommend this driver to no one because of the shady practice of redirecting users to a purchase site where you have to spend 10 minutes to find out how to download this driver really for free...
2. This is the strangest implementation of how 'F5 nn' messages can be ruined. This driver extends the 2nd byte of the original message to be part of a Note Off message. The Note Off status byte is hallucinated from nowhere by this driver...

the original message type is send directly over the rs232 serial bus. it only works there.

it's very odd that virtual midi ports much with things so much, when they actually need to just pass it through, and let the device handle it.

that said, the source is available, so you can try reading it and figure out where it's going wrong.

Hi,
1. Yes, but in theory It can work anywhere if the driver do not interfere with the message but simply transfer it the in the same form as it has been delivered by the client. WinMM itself can do this without problems. VST2 and CLAP can also do this.
2. The problem with modified kernel drivers is that they have to be signed some way in order to be usable on modern Windows versions by average users.
