Re: MIDI to string conversion?

MIDI splitter converts to values as well and I don't have to learn Ruby to use it.

Seems silly if the text is right there but I can't get at it.

I was thinking of pointing potential users here as MIDI troubleshooting and manipulation were early strengths of SynthMaker... now it seems just a shell ...

MIDI to string conversion?

SynthMaker always had a feature that if you connect a MIDI output to a string input it would convert the MIDI message into a human readable string.

It still is there in FlowStone but the resulting string is a ghost... if you read it's length it says zero and if you connect it to another string it ...

Re: Turning a micro computer system into MIDI device

...If we could program the driver to show a the name we desire... Currently you have to manually replace the name that displays to the host in a supporting file and it will apply to all MIDI projects you compile until you change that text. It's not really hard but it's a bit inconvenient. Paul says ...

Re: Turning a micro computer system into MIDI device

@oddson,
Your solution looks quite easy to make and cheap. The only question would be the driver itself. If we could program the driver to show a the name we desire, it would be even greater (like "oddson midi controller")...
I think writing the sketch to run this (same sketch on both Teensys ...

Re: How to test a synth in flowstone?

Do you have the correct sound card selected?

Try hooking a string primitive to the output of the MIDI In and make sure it's showing midi messages from whatever keyboard you're trying to send midi from...

Try hooking the 'Scope' module to the output of the synth and see if audio is present.

Re: Turning a micro computer system into MIDI device

@oddson

Yes, it's hackable with 2 Teensies, but I think it would be a lot easier to use a ready to go commercial usb midi interface because It's made especially for routing midi and both the FS software and the receiving computer recognize it without any problem as a midi device and no other ...

Re: Turning a micro computer system into MIDI device

This midi interface allows midi integration between 2 computers so technically, you can use one computer as a midi controller and transmit midi signal to another computer or device that receive it.
Ah... I finally get what you want... you don`t want to send MIDI to synths etc. but to another ...

Re: Turning a micro computer system into MIDI device

I'm not sure I'm on your wavelength...
...Should my FS made application be installed **on this board**? is that board a micro-computer with it's own CPU?
Or maybe it only receives midi signal and sends it to the outside world? :
Teensy is a micro-controller board that runs Arduino software -- not ...

Re: Turning a micro computer system into MIDI device

A MIDI IN port needs opto-isoloator but for OUT you just need two resistors (unless you feel the need to buffer the signal with some kind of logic gate or two chained inverters).

Programming is relatively simple depending on what you want to do.

If you're really doing all the heavy lifting in ...

While I've not read this thread in its entirety I wonder if you've seen this:
