MIDI in record into a chord-seq

Hello,

I cannot record MIDI into a chord-seq object while using portmidi. I can set the MIDI IN device in preferences to my MIDI keyboard. But chord-seq cannot record. With midishare, it works.

So, is this new MIDI implementation — portmidi and OM Midi Player — able to accept MIDI in?

Thanks

Hi Gato,

Yes I confirm. Although I am on linux using jack with alsa, and having created successfully an inport i have this in the listener :

PortMIDI reinitialized.
OM > PortMIDI - devices detected:
“Midi Through Port-0” [OUTPUT]
“Midi Through Port-0” [INPUT]
“qjackctl” [OUTPUT]
“Synth input port (4394:0)” [OUTPUT]
“Synth input port (Qsynth2:0)” [OUTPUT]
OM > PortMIDI :: INPUT port 0 => Midi Through Port-0
OM > PortMIDI :: OUTPUT port 0 => Synth input port (Qsynth2:0)
OM > MIDI: Restoring presets from preferences…
OM > Player midi-player : can not record
OM > Player midi-player : can not record
OM > Player midi-player : can not record

It is maybe not yet implemented unfortunately.

I can confirm, too: MIDI record in score objects is not yet implemented with the portmidi system

What is implemeted with portMIDI is the MIDI-IN box (which works more or less lie the OSC-RECEIVE box)
It is a bit less practical but if you use it with the timed-coll box, it can allow you to record data in the OM patch and use it to create a chord-seq

I can make an example patch if someone is interested.

Well, thanks for the replies. I’ll wait for the implementation to complete. Meanwhile I’ll use the midishare method.
