Hi, I understand that easyABC is supposed to have a way to input from a MIDI Keyboard, but it's not working for me. When I push the Record button, a window pops up asking me to select MIDI input and output devices. But there are options. Other programs are able to see my keyboard. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this? I have Python programming experience if that helps, but I don't have experience with coding related to anything MIDI.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I've found that the cause of the issue is that the "pypm" module is not imported and, in fact, there's a message written to stderr, "Warning: pygame/pypm module not found. Recording midi will not work". Is there some dependency I need to install separately? Is this related to "Python Midi" package mentioned with a URL http://www.mxm.dk/products/public/pythonmidi that is no longer active? Is this why the latest code in Github points to something called FluidSynth, maybe that's a new library with MIDI functionality? Thanks for any insight you can give!
