[4] treats eventSize as if it were the size of a single element, which it isn't

Not sure what you mean here. I'm trying to Marshal element[i] into the next block of bytes reserved by [2], so if there were three elements, [2] would reserve 36 bytes. On the first iteration, element 1 will go to where eventPointer is pointing, on the second eventPointer + 12, on the third eventPointer + 24.

Passing a pointer to a byte array works fine, but using the defined MIDIEVENT structures makes assigning the various elements of that structure much easier.
