MIDI

[genmce]

Hello,

In the old forum I collected a variety of snippets of code, from a variety of people that (marginally) worked on AHK vanilla (basic) whatever it is currently called.
The code not very well commented. I would like to help bring this forward into the -L / new versions.
I would like some help with this task.
Once it's working I or someone else can create a post in the scripts forum.
Is anyone interested in moving this forward?

Ok see my signature for the old versions of these programs....

I'm novice with ahk and this project, but very interested! U've done cool job! Thank you! Just diving to all these files, reading your comments. If I understand more - maybe I can help with cleaning, but I'm just learning..

Now I'm stucked a little bit with chineze symbols in the names of my midi in/out ports.. Diving in further

@genmce: It's actually quite a major undertaking. Was considering participating, but TBQH there's enough programs out there that do the job well enough. I am a Reaper subscriber, actually.
However there's very good resource out there, e.g . the fourthwoods tutorial and all you want to know on the midi format.
Perhaps it's a better idea to provide an alternative to Coolsoft VirtualMidiSynth's answer to Microsoft's abandoned Midimapper where it's possible to use soundfonts in midi playback, for example.

This has been resolved and I made a github a while back, forgot to post it here.

Still a work in progress, however, the showing of properly formatted midi devices is fixed.

I would edit my signature as it does not have most recent versions, but I can't figure out how to edit my sig??
However, my signature doesn't even show up anymore... hmmm..

If you mean that your signature should contain a link, but that will be broken every time you (re) configure it? AFAICS, moderators aren't able to fix a member's signature. So, if that's the case you would have to request an admin to fix it on your behalf. Except for the links, everything should be working fine!? UserControlPanel > Profile > Edit Signature

I have added a new repository on github for Midi2Keypress
It will convert a midi note on, cc, pc, note off, to a keypress

This is meant to simplify the process with
1 file for midi input, no includes.

Sorry, the possibility to use a signature was removed for new users (that includes older users with very low post counts, I think < 10 posts), because their signatures were regularly abused for spam links - obviously not in your case.

@genmce Thx for sharing your tool! Much appreciated Without having done a pre-check, have you already created a 'promotion'-thread for your tool at the Scripts & Functions section of this forum?? If not, please feel free to do it now, as more people should have a chance to see the result(s) of your effort.

Thx for listening & have fun!

@genmce When I use this tool I can no longer use my keyboard to interact with musics learning software (piano marvel)

Is there a way to have my keyboard working with other software but when I press a specific key on the keyboard to have a keystroke send?

Thanks genmce, this seems like a nice script. I want to use my midi controller inputs as hotkeys and since i'm knew to the scripting world i don't know much how to translate the midi inputs into keystrokes. Can you or somebody explain how this works. I configurate my midi input port and can monitor the incoming messages from my controller but then i don't know how i can translate them into keystrokes (or other command like mouse mouvement if that possible). I always only work with the software Bome Midi translator pro that is doing a wonderful work but feel it sometimes have some limitations.

Hi man,
i suppose you are on windows and it is not midi multi-client capable. That's means that midi cannot be shared with multiple programs. The first program that open your midi device gonna lock it and you have to disable it from that program to let another one use it. To Fix that you have to use a virtual midi cable that can be used by all your software at the same time like loopmidi https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html. And use a software also like midiOx http://www.midiox.com/ To route your midi device to the virtual cable (loopmidi) and now you have to always choose the virtual cable loopmidi in your softwares or your scripts.
