Re: [Bluemusic-users] Request for help testing new feature

[Steven Y. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi Dave,

Strange, I did test for PortMidi and WinMME on XP SP2 and did get
results for the internal Microsoft stuff.  Are you using the latest
Csound 5.02.1 (I think that's it)?

Maybe if Hector is finding the Midi stuff not happening too on Linux
with PortMIDI, then there might just be a problem.

If you run blue and see the commandline terminal, when you run the
auto-detect for the midi stuff, the terminal should say something like
"Running" and then a commandline, then a "Finished Running" and the
same commandline again.  If you have that still open and then open a
separate console and type that exact commandline, does Csound report
all the midi devices?

Thanks very much for your report!  I will keep on trying to figure out
what is going on.
