Any MIDI library compatible with Processing 3?
I am trying to use a physical MIDI controller to control my Processing v3 sketch. I've tried 2 libraries - proMIDI and The Minibus, but neither works with Processing v3. They both say they are incompatible.
What I need to do is to turn the knobs on my controller to change a few variables in P5 sketch.
Does anyone know any compatible libraries or how to execute my idea?

If you need this in a hurry, here's a hack. Create a separate Processing 2.x sketch that reads in the MIDI data from your controller, and send the data via OSC to your Processing 3.x sketch.

Thanks for your answer, but on Mac, you cannot open 2 different versions of Processing at the same time.
I found another library called RWMidi, which does not seem to be maintained, and the official page is down, but I've managed to find a library jar file somewhere on the web, and it works nicely with Processing version 3.
Good to hear you found a library that works!
I think it's still possible to export a Processing 2.x sketch as a Java application, and run that simultaneously with your Processing 3.x sketch. (I vaguely remember running Java apps exported from different Processing versions, but that was awhile ago, probably pre-Processing 3.) But the new library takes care of this better, of course!
