General discussion arround Midi Layer.

[Mikael]

Is it possible to reroute the monitored MIDI out to the monitored MIDI in for an internal loopback test? I don't see an obvious way so I welcome advice.

[Antonio Jose Maia]

Sorry, but I still don't understand the use case.

OK, this is actually a very handy program.
Let me explain my usecase :

• I recently got my hands on some old 90's midi stuff : some roland and yamaha drums and keyboards/synths, and a soundcanvas.
• What better to do than to install winuae, and relive old commodore amiga times. So I configured winuae, and installed Bars and Pipes Professional. Excellent piece of software!
• The problem with winuae, is that you can only access one midi controller. I can use that to access my external instruments, but I also wanted to access to midi VST's running on my PC.
• So I downloaded loopmidi, which can create virtual midi ports, and use midilayer to send all data coming from the amiga to external midi out, as well as seperate midi ports for the VST's

Now there seems to be one problem : You can't send program changes to the instruments. As soon as midilayer receives a program change, it changes the midilayer setup so the complete setup is gone. I cheched the code and see :

        /// TODO implement option bypass program change
        //            // Filter Program change
        //            if (ui->cbProgramChange->isChecked())    {
        //                MidiManager::get()->sendProgramChange( ui->cbPortOut->currentIndex(), ui->sbMidiOutChannel->value()-1,channelMessage.getByte1());
        //                outLed->flash();
        //

So that would be handy I guess. Is there a windows version that has this option active?

[Antonio Jose Maia]

I'm working on that.
A MidiLayer with 4 virtual in ports and 4 virtual out ports is been tested (will be 8 MIDI slots available).
If you can, you could compile the code from git repository. All feedback are welcome.
Happy new year!
