Could you do me a favor and test MMJ on OS X and see if there are any inputs detected on your setup with ProMIDI2.0 in Processing. I mailed the author of MMJ, he says inputs are implemented and should be working fine. Lech

Hmmm, yes, in fact mmj is showing inputs. I'll test this some more. It's certainly working well with outputs. Right now, all my issues are on Windows -- tried reinstalling Java, but that hasn't helped. It sees the outputs but won't address them.

Now my bigger issue is I can't figure out how one would remove events from a pattern beyond adding them. There's the removeEvent(i_event, tick) method, but what's i_event? If you need, say, Note(), keeping track of pitch and velocity, what's the point of bothering putting those in a pattern in the first place, since you'd need an additional array just for keeping track of which notes have been added? Am I missing something?

Sorry for letting you wait on the mandolane integration, I was working on several projects the last month and not enough time to take care of it. I have more time in the moment so I will try to update promidi and include mandolane.

@peter

You are right so far it is only possible to delete patterns and events, an event can be a note, a controller or a program change. Maybe it would make sense to include methods to delete all events in a given range between two ticks, let me see what I can do.

Ah, very good, that made sense.

re: the MIDI support on Mac -- mmj does seem to be working, so perhaps Mandalone isn't totally necessary, but the idea of supporting one specific library sounds wise. I have various Macs here (Intel and PPC) and am happy to help test the integration.

re: clearing patterns -- I had actually looked at seeing if there was a way to add a method to remove a full range, but with all the various methods there and the tick maps and whatnot I got a bit confused.

There is a removePattern() method, yes, but that doesn't actually delete the object or remove the events from the object. I would presumably need to instantiate a new pattern object in order to add a new pattern, yes?

Hello,

I'm quite a beginner in programming, but have been trying to work with the ProMidi library. In PC-MidiYoke everything is fine, but in Mac it's the hole problem. I haven't tried this mmj which I will very soon. But to do so, I would like to know:

Where should I place the mmj? I'm asking it for the obvious reason and also because I would like to know if is there anyway an online applet developed in a pc could work in a mac, even if the mac doesn't have anything installed previously. What I mean is: could I place it in the code or the data folder so any mac could run the applet?

I don't know if what I'm asking is absurd or totally posible, but would really appreciate if someone could give me some help!

Thanks!

I'm working towards a proMIDI + mmj solution, but seem to be experiencing the same problem as a few others in this thread where proMIDI happily lists all available MIDI outputs, but no inputs.

I used MandoMidiTester.jar to evaluate my setup, and it seems to recognize both inputs and outputs, so I can only assume the problem lies somewhere within the proMIDI library.

Any leads?

Hi there,

Thanks for a very useful library, I hope you continue to develop and strengthen it.

I would like to point out that setLoopCount() does not seem to work correctly. It is possible to loop forever i.e. setLoopCount(-1) , but it is not possible to loop for a fixed number of times i.e. setLoopCount(3). Regardless of the number you put in (positive integer), the MIDI is played just once.

It would be great if that could be fixed, thanks a lot!

I haven't used promidi since the alpha version. With version 2.0 can you still output notes without a predetermined length
For example, I want to send a "note on" when when you press a key and "note off" on release

That's what I was wondering, it's quite anoying for real time performance.
Did you find a way around that problem

ps: that's what I was asking here ( http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?num=1197377712 ).

The example file 'Sequencer' will only return a lot of nasty errors for me. The error messages indicate that it really dislikes the line "Sequencer sequencer;"
Unfortunately I am too much of a noob to resolve this issue, anyone have any clues? I'd love to begin some experiments with Processing and midi, but sadly I seem to be getting nowhere.

here is the error which I receive when running the Example file, four variations on this message are returned on each run.

C:/DOCUME~1/angstrom/LOCALS~1/Temp/build7132.tmp/Temporary_2295_7540.java:3:1:3:
9: Semantic Error: Type "Sequencer" is imported on demand from package "promidi" and package "javax.sound.midi".

any help is gratefully accepted.

Just so you understand exactly how nowhere I am with this - most of the other Promidi examples give me errors too, mainly a variation on this one:

Semantic Error: No applicable overload was found for a constructor with signature "ProgramChange(int, int)" in type "promidi.ProgramChange". Perhaps you wanted the overloaded version "ProgramChange(int $1);" instead?

I assume I am doing something obviously newb & wrong here.

hi

i am helpless.
i installed promidi (mac powerbook g4 / osx 10.4.10)
i installed PlumstoneV1_3
i got to run the promidi example: promidi
and this massage appears:

2008-01-13 17:55:01.083 java[4507] CFLog (0): CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1103 (0x44f), port = 0x11f03, name = 'java.ServiceProvider'
See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes.
2008-01-13 17:55:01.091 java[4507] CFLog (99): CFMessagePortCreateLocal(): failed to name Mach port (java.ServiceProvider)

any ideas for me ?

thanx

This message appears from time to time on OS X systems, but normally it does not affect the running of the Java program in any way. It does not appear to be related to Plumstone.

Have you tried a reboot I have found that rebooting usually makes the problem go away for a long time.
