[Linuxsampler-devel] SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT

[Mark K. <mar...@gm...>]

Hello,
   My LS script files to date have used only a couple of MIDI commands:

CREATE MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE ALSA
SET MIDI_INPUT_PORT_PARAMETER 0 0 ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS="64:0"
SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT 0 0 0 0

The first two are documented in the LCSP document online but the last
one isn't. Could someone tell me what the four parameters are? I had
been guessing that it was the following:


SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT <sampler-channel> <MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE #>
<MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE port-number> <MIDI-channel-number>

but it doesn't seem correct:

CREATE MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE ALSA
OK[0]
SET MIDI_INPUT_PORT_PARAMETER 0 0 ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS="64:0"
OK
SET MIDI_INPUT_PORT_PARAMETER 0 1 ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS="64:32"
ERR:0:There is no port 1

So, how do I bind my second MIDI input to LS? I'm trying to go beyond
16 MIDI inputs on LS now. QJC shows:

64: MIDI 1
-> 0: MIDI 1
-> 32: MIDI 2

Why isn't the 32: a second port?

I changed the script to say:

CREATE MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE ALSA
SET MIDI_INPUT_PORT_PARAMETER 0 0 ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS="64:0"
SET MIDI_INPUT_PORT_PARAMETER 0 0 ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS="64:32"

which works (graphically - untested with MIDI as of yet) according to
QJC but looks sort of wrong to me. When is a port a port?

Thanks,
Mark
