Title: MIDI ports
Post by: bigsofty on 2010-Nov-23
Now I have not done this since my days on the Atari ST so please excuse me if I don't use the correct lingo  :S

The iOS update has allowed access to MIDI sessions via the camera port and I was thinking it would be great to be able to mess with MIDI devices using GLB.

I would imagine that some sort of MIDI IN/OUT command would be all that is needed, since all status flags, event, commands etc are bust packets of bytes sent down these ports. So one command could probably do it.

Code (glbasic) Select
MIDI 0,var // Read a byte from the MIDI port
MIDI 1,val // Send a byte to the MIDI port


This is probably not a request that will not be required by your average GLB coder but I thought there would be no harm in putting in a request all the same.  ;)

Cheers,


Ian

Multi touch screen will be kick-ass controller for MIDI devices!
I had the opportunity to use Korg Kaossilator, an instrument which uses multi-touch screen as control surface, and it's simply amazing!
