Hi all, I got a couple of questions regarding MIDI implementation in Linux. My app (that I am currently working on) will not use MIDI for sequencing, but rather as a real-time triggering mechanism (including continuous controllers) that will intercommunicate with other MIDI-capable apps on the (usually) same system. A while ago I was suggested that the best path is to use Open Sound Control for such stuff. However, upon [quickly] glancing at the .h file for OSC, I realized that it is nothing more than a network protocol for such stuff and that it has nothing in it that would enable it to "hook-up" directly to the /dev/midi port and then parse the info by itself and route accordingly to the settings in my main app. So, I would greatly appreciate any help in figuring out where can I get the code that would "bridge" this gap between /dev/midi and the OSC, and that would be flexible enough for me to be able to customize routing (let's say based on what controller and what channel the data is coming from). Any source code you could point me towards would be greatly appreciated (preferably something that is not a part of a gargantuan project that will be hard to "extract"). Also, if I have misstated anything above, please do correct me. Finally, any alternative suggestions for my implementation would be greatly appreciated as well. My need is for: 1) ability to route MIDI data on a local machine incoming from outer physical MIDI controller 2) ability to communicate with as many apps as possible 3) ability to do so in an elegant fashion (i.e. easy to implement) 4) communication needs to be only one-way (returned MIDI data from apps receiving my app do not interest me) Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Ivica Ico Bukvic
