Hello, I'm a two-year list-lurker and rev user, coming from a 10 year attachment to HyperCard. I finally have a question for which I can find no solution from the list and/or docs. (I've read numerous MIDI threads, but they seem to deal with output--formatting MIDI files, playing back through QT, etc.)
I want to capture raw MIDI input from an external source (typically a MIDI keyboard), connected via USB. I cannot assure that users will have access to a USB-serial converter. On Macs, I want to be able to go through CoreMIDI; on PC, I don't know yet (Mac version comes first...). The old HyperMIDI externals don't seem to work, at least in OSX. Should/Can I: 1. Learn to write an external with my scripting-only (very meager outside of HyperTalk) programming experience? 2. Use AppleScript and/or AppleEvents? 3. Uncover some script, external, or other solution I've missed? 4. Find another alternative altogether? 5. Give up? Does anyone do this, or (perhaps) know of an apple-scriptable MIDI utility from which I could retrieve the data and deal with it in Rev (only way I can think to do it...)? Thanks for any and all sage advice. --------------------------- Chris Weise Music and Fine Arts Johnson C.
