The midi module in PIXERA has several different functionalities and can be used for:

  • Receive Midi commands
  • Send Midi commands 
  • Receive Midi Timecode → MIDI Timecode 

General use

To receive midi in the module, the module must be initialized after the devices have been defined.
To do this press init()
 


Receive Midi

To receive midi, the correct input device must be set in the properties. The module provides teach in functionality, by sending midi notes / control change / program change commands, actions can be created for these.
 

Depending on what is sent, "Control Change" “Program Change” or “Note”, there are separates teach in folders in the properties.


Send Midi

For testing, we use the Microsoft GS Wavetabel synth. This is a virtual midi device from windows with which we can generate sounds and play them back on the speakers of the system.

In the signature of the sendNote()function, you can see what parameters can be sent. In this case it is int channel,int note,bool on,int velocity.
We can use a custom action or a CombineValues Module to send those parameters.

When successful you should be able to hear a Piano note on you Audio device.

The same workflow applies if you use as example sendControlChange().
