Promidi error while importing library
Mar 3rd, 2008, 4:24am  
I've been trying to get the promidi library to work but whenever i try to import the library i receive this error:

C:/DOCUME~1/Shepard/LOCALS~1/Temp/build62541.tmp/Temporary_7542_1191.java:4:60:4
:66: Semantic Error: Type "PApplet" is imported on demand from package "processing.core" and package "promidi".

I extracted the zip into the library directory as per the instructions.  I've scoured the net for tutorials or any sort of help and have found nothing please please help me.

I figured out the problem in case someone has a similar issue.    

Promidi 1.0 works fine but Promidi version 2.0 is not zipped correctly.  If you just extract all the files into the libraries folder it will make a promidi folder inside the promidi folder these files should actually be in the main promidi folder. so basically move all the files in

C:\processing\libraries\promidi\promidi\

to

C:\processing\libraries\promidi\

Hi. I have a similar problem. I moved the library and the importation of the library works fine but when  I play a sample program, it stops on :  "midiIO.openInput(1,0);" (or other values than 1,0). Can it be my midi device that is not right (it works with director's midi xtra)

Hey, I think I have the same problem.  I'm using ProMIDI w/ Mac OSX Leopard.  I placed ProMIDI in the "libraries" folder and removed the contents of the 2nd "proMIDI" folder and placed them one tier up.  But when I run the program it still gives me the error asking me to specify a path.  I worked around the error by using "add file" and opening "promidi.jar" but is this enough to run the entire program? Or would I have to add every single file?

strange, i didn't have a jar file in my copy. Normally a jar file is a compilation of java files, so it should have all the files zipped inside it.  So you should be fine just opening the one file.

yah I still don't understand why the program doesn't see the folder but if this is all I have to do to get around the problem, then I don't have one

If you click on sketch > import a library, there is the proMidi Lib?

No

I downloaded MMJ yesterday -- that might've done the trick.

Please make sure that you have installed the latest version.

Download for osx is:
http://texone.org/promidi/promidi_mac.zip

Download for windows is:
http://texone.org/promidi/promidi.zip

I have checked the lib and had no Problems with PApplet beeing imported twice. I also got all available inputs.
