Monkey 2portmidi module – Monkey 2

Simon Armstrong — Thu, 30 Jun 2016 00:35:04 +0000

I just got my second module working as opposed to just compiling.

https://github.com/nitrologic/m2/tree/master/modules

Currently only supports Midi In on MacOS.

Windows and Linux support once testing is complete (today I hope).

#Import "<std>"
#Import "<mojo>"
#Import "<portmidi>"

Using std..
Using portmidi..

Function Main()

	Print "PortMidi test 0.1"

	Print "Scanning Midi Bus, please wait."

	Local portMidi:=New PortMidi()
	
	Local counter:Int

	While True
		While portMidi.Poll()
			Print portMidi.EventData()
		Wend
		portMidi.Sleep(1.0/60)
	Wend

End

#Import ""

Using std..

Using portmidi..

Function Main()

Print "PortMidi test 0.1"

Print "Scanning Midi Bus, please wait."

Local portMidi:=New PortMidi()

Local counter:Int

While True

While portMidi.Poll()

Print portMidi.EventData()

Wend

portMidi.Sleep(1.0/60)

Wend

End

Great. Will this do Midi on android too?

I’d like to make a realtime midi in/out sequencer for Android, when the time comes. How is Monkey 2 with accurate timing?

PortMIDI is desktop only.

A native mobilemidi module could share a common midi namespace with portmidi module so from Monkey2 app development the receiving / sending midi over OSC and bluetooth could be nice and simple.

As for timing, I plan to start running multiple processes per app. At present sharing the main thread with an SDL2 window rendering loop is not ideal.

On Android separation of render and gui threads is enforced so it will be interesting to see how SDL2 behaves in this environment.

Nice work. I’d like to see some decent tutorials on externs in MX2 though. I’m wrapping some existing code at the moment (which builds), but my test program refuses to link, even though it’s clearly including the .a file (OS X, El Capitan).

@Simon: Hi again, Thanks for explaining.

I hope that MX2 will turn out to be a platform where music timing, will be possible.

I’d like to be able to create procedural sound, mix and sync with rendering.

@Simon, Hi could you upload this module to the module manager? the git hub page is a 404 now. Thanks.

Sorry about the delay, it should be there now.
