proMidi Pitch Wheel Issue
Jan 11th, 2009, 7:16pm  

I am trying to access input from the Pitch Wheel on
my oxygen49. Everything else in the library worked nice and
easy, but the pitch wheel only seems to pick up a vel and
pitch of 0 when I pitch it all the way down. It does not
registers other values like a normal controller, while the
Modulation wheel does. Is there some other property in
proMidi that I should be listening for?

Hello spiralOut83,

Unfortunately, I cannot help explain the phenomenon, but I can say I have experienced the same with proMIDI.  At least you are not the only one, and it is not your specific setup that is wrong.

I can also say that the MidiBus library does not seem to indicate any detection of the pitch wheel change.

I used a diagnostic sketch I posted (see the thread about accurate MIDI input) to check.  To my understanding my code is correct.

Sorry I can't be of any further help. If I think of or discover anything I'll post.

beatkeeper,

    Thanks for the reply. I can probably deal for now.
 It's just I wanted to release my MidiKeyboard Imp code
 in the exhibition section and didn't want to seem like a
 dumass as to why I left out the pitch wheel in my keyboard
 config file. I have used other softwares that use the \
 pitch wheel as midi input 0. (which proMidi detects, but
 only on value 0 / noteOFF) This seemed like
 a very proMidi specific issue, and it should get resolved.
 Who knows though with all the models of keyboards, might
 not be an issue with other brands. I would like to know
 though if someone has another brand or some hack that
 gets around this.
   Thanks again though, an inconclusive reply is better
 than none.
   (hmm, A hack might be to use some other midi lib for
 the sole purpose of detecting this pitch wheel.... any
 thoughts?)

Hey,

As I mentioned, the MidiBus does not seem to react to the pitch wheel of my M-Audio Oxygen8. There is one library called RWMidi, I think (Ruin Wessen), but I have not tried it.  The link to its documentation is somewhere in a post in this forum, but I did not find a download link.

Thanks,
  I may go with implementing just enough
 to listen for the pitch wheel. Now,
 that I think about it, there were a fair
 many number of buttons on my keyboard that
 just did not respond with proMidi. Maybe
 I will fair better with RW.
