>> Try running only "amidi --dump -p virtual", and then connecting the hardware sequencer port to the virtual on
It works fine when amidi connects to it. Shows 3 bytes for each key on/key off. >> When the sequencer converts the messages back to raw MIDI bytes, it uses running status by default. This is not an error. I'm aware of running status, but I don't think that's the problem. This is what I get for a single key press if I log each byte I read: 90 4B 80 00 This is multiple presses and releases of the same key at different velocities: 90 3C 80 00 90 3D 80 00 90 3C 80 00 90 43 80 00 90 01 80 00 As you can see, there's a key on, and then a second byte (which seems to be the velocity), but no byte to indicate which key is being pressed! I'm reading the data byte per byte, from a blocking port: byte byteVal; int err; if ((err = snd_rawmidi_read(m_inHandle, &byteVal, sizeof(byteVal))) < 0) { std::cout << "Can't read MIDI input: " << snd_strerror(err) << std::endl; throw BadInput(); } std::cout << charToHex(byteVal) << std::endl; I'm at a loss to see what I'm doing wrong. There's nothing fancy going on in my reading loop. - Maxime ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
