MIDI on Bela #3

Open sensestage opened 7 years ago

sensestage commented 7 years ago

MIDI on Bela in sclang seems not to be working. It may be an issue with the alsa backend not registering the MIDI devices properly.

To see devices in SC:

MIDIIn.connectAll;

Maybe a solution is reading in MIDI not via Alsa, but via the Bela MIDI implementation.

So, where exactly is the problem ? Is the kernel missing something ?

I can get MIDI from the bela ide using c++, I see the values coming in.

giuliomoro commented 7 years ago

for some reason, USB devices do not show up as MIDI sequencer devices with aconnect -io

@sensestage you mentioned it would be nice to have a MIDI UGen so to avoid the overhead of sclang/scsynth communication for MIDI. If you could draft such a UGen, I could then add in the lower level MIDI stuff.

Newer Bela images (end of 2017 onwards) have a newer kernel which supports MIDI devices fine as far as I can tell. A basic MIDI example would be nice to add, anyone?
