i've recently started using MMF again (you may remember some of my mid-90s output such as bubblechug 64½ and GTS3) and i'm using it for a very specific reason - i want to create software in MMF which can be used as a GUI frontend to send MIDI messages (noteon, noteoff, velocity, notes 0-127 etc) to other programs (which would be running in the background) such as Reaktor or FruityLoops Studio. has anyone had any luck sending MIDI messages from MMF to outside software/MIDI devices? or... does another object which allows easy control over MIDI parameters already in existence? basically all i need is control over channel #, controller # and note value #, and the ability to send values 0-127 to each. noteon and noteoff would also be a plus. the MCI object seems like it's the right thing to use, but if so, there's no documentation in the MMF manual that i've come across yet to use it properly...
any help, suggestions or links would be appreciated.
Hi,
I cant seem to find any reference to this in the list of commands that are available for the MCI object as far as Windows is concerned out-of-the-box. You might be able to do it with the regular commands, I read somewhere some time ago that this was possible, however I dont believe, if my memory serves me correctly, this is possible in MMF as you dont have access to the C/C++ structs.
If your any good with C/C++ you could make your own object, because the code for doing this is documented in several places that I've come across (not specifically relating to MMF objects, of course, but the code you'd need )
